The NHS has come in for heavy criticism from military personnel over allocation of PPE to hospitals, as calls arise for armed forces specialists to take over logistics process. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/military-appalled-by-planning-fiasco-over-nhs-protective-kit-jdh369k6r

One senior army source branded NHS logistics “appalling”, leading variously to PPE oversupplies/shortages.

Added: “We know how knackered their systems are, but we’ve been surprised we’ve not been called in to help more, and we’ve been surprised by their failure to ration [kit].”

Gvt should consider appointing a military specialist as logistics tsar, says @Tobias_Ellwood, chairman of Commons defence cmtte.

He stressed "tremendous sacrifice and efforts" of NHS, but said its logistics could be enhanced by military who are "extremely enthusiastic to assist"
