As readers of my blog will already know, I have been proseletysing for the attached initiative, which is making good the defects of central government ordering and pre-planning by just getting gowns made locally. I suspect it is a model of what should have been done more (eg local testing by labs, encouraging firms to switch to making gowns, not doing it all through systems of centralised bureaucratic control). Anyway, I am so glad it has been such a big success and so grateful for the financial support it has received.
