‘Three weeks before his death, he warned Royal Berkshire hospital that unless they supplied the vital kit he and his colleagues needed to avoid becoming infected, “it will be too little and too late”.’

Open and shut. Lack of PPE. A dead Dr. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/apr/23/emails-reveal-doctors-plea-for-ppe-before-covid-19-death-dr-peter-tun

‘a statement the trust made to the BBC denying that it lacked PPE could not be true. “If there were no shortages, why did my father not get even the basic masks when he was asking for them? It’s irresponsible to hide behind policies. They aren’t making common sense decisions.”’

‘the Royal Berkshire said it had correctly applied the NHS-wide guidance on PPE. “Everyone in the trust is deeply saddened by the death of Dr Peter Tun,” a spokesperson said, describing him as “popular and respected by all who knew and worked with him”.’

But not worthy of PPE.

Emphasising that the trust followed strict national guidelines, the spokesperson added that managers and matrons regularly checked wards to ensure staff were “always safely, properly and appropriately kitted out”.’

But Dr Tun said before his death that his team were not.

The Trust wrote:

‘I am unable to order masks for Caversham without any suspected or confirmed cases on the ward. These supplies are not widely available and need to be used sensibly for those staff most at risk’

Dr Tun became infected and died. Was that sensible?
