What's the level? What's "Frontline"/ "Non Frontline" and who defines the difference? Cos that's always 'a thing.' My Mrs was non frontline last week and pretty much frontline this. I'm not frontline by any means but I'm working like a dog this last month on planning, I dont want or expect any more cash, it's what I signed up for.

I don’t think anyone in the nhs does it for the money tbh. It’s a remarkable Organisation as is everyone that works in it. who should be paid what fuck knows. But they All deserve every Last penny that’s for sure and more on top. We can never repay what the nhs is doing for us 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 1 minute ago, Casino said: No Theres loads of capacity I’m telling you from what I’m seeing daily there is a lack of vehicles so if you can fix it I would be offering your services to some of the biggest logistics companies in the UK cos they are at full capacity and are screaming for vehicles. just because there are x number of vehicles in circulation doesn’t mean there is capacity to move stuff around immediately. It’s not as simple as that and you know it as an aside My employer have just released 300 units foc to the nhs to assist them. But that’s the tip of the iceberg I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On average I had microbiology at about £30 a pop though that was a few years ago. The antibody test is/will be a blood test and should be even less.

Now, its possible its got worse in a week, but i doubt it Like i say, a regular on here is furloughed and his van not moving If its procuremsnt, who is in charge of the rules Its all in the power of the government to sort Ffs, theyve written off 14 billion today, so issuing free PPE shouldnt be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capacity is an issue. but likewise solving that capacity issue will require them to go out with their normal supply chain. That’s going to be tough but you’ve got all the answers so it’s simple just parachute yourself in job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without CV it’s a nightmare. With CV it’s even worse within a hospital or a community store. It’s the very final end of the supply chain that’s the problem not the delivery.

Bow to your superior knowledge as you deal with them but why then have the nhs begged my employer for a 1,000 mixed vehicles if the delivery isn’t an issue? Tells me it most certainly is a huge issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree we can send a parcel across the country overnight. But this on this scale obviously isn’t easy. Throw in the issues as highlighted by MW and what I’m seeing also and this isn’t straightforward sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough But And im having a but There is plenty unused capacity I know that for a fact And you know the nhs doesnt think there is capacity Speaks volumes to me And with a wife who is trying to get PPE for her staff saying the support they are getting is pathetic, i tend to agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
