The Department’s 2020–21 Annual Report and Accounts, published on 31 January 2022, reported the exceptional challenges the Department faced in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of this response, the Department purchased over £12 billion of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in 2020–21. Due to the speed of which the procurement took place and the volumes of PPE ordered, equipment was purchased that did not always meet requirements and much higher prices than normal were paid. The accounts reveal the £9 billion extent of this financial loss including £4 billion of PPE that will not be used in the NHS and needs to be disposed of. The Department has no clear disposal strategy for this excess PPE but told us that it plans to burn significant volumes and will aim to generate power from this.


Understand these were unprecedented times, but the ‘party of fiscal responsibility’ has shown itself to once again be the party of nepotism and recklessness
 
But...but...they got all the big decisions right ! I continually hear one of our posters saying.Yeah for themselves, the game is up and the net is closing, could be a few more yachts getting repossessed and not just Russian ones.

I cant think of a single big decision theyve got right.

They were bullied into doing the right thing on Covid, but their dithering meant lockdowns continually had to go on much longer, and at far greater cost, than they should have done.

Been banging this drum, (ahem!) it's mathematically impossible to get every single call wrong consecutively. I struggle to see one call made in good faith and followed up. Shambles!
