Heard a snippet on the radio that apparently the Gov are going to ask the car industry to change production and start making ventilators!!
What a joke!
ITU vets aren't my thing but theatre ones are, and they can't be put together very quickly. Thirty years ago most of the ones used in the UK were British made by BOC/Ohmeda, totally bomb proof all stainless steel and could be field striped by one us operating technicians.
Over the years these companies merged with other European companies so we had Datex machines made in Finland/USA, then (and now) the real Rolls Royce machines were made by Siemens/Drager (German).
But then about 5-6 years ago the bean counters came, companies like GE healthcare sold out to Mindray and quality took a major nose dive, plastics parts that constantly broke or required several weeks delay for parts to arrive.
So now in our Trust all of the vents and monitors are made by Mindray..... now guess where they are made???
China of course.
Complete sound-bite to me.
Bit like all of the retired nurses being brought back into service... most of who will be over 65-70 and fall into the vulnerable class or could shortly be stopped from going out, let alone have had their registration/validation lapse.
Alas, I don't think I'll be allowed to work from home..
