It does make you think about all the multi million pound contracts handed out with little to no return (apart from making someone rich), when the money could have been used towards a pay rise for the real heroes of this pandemic. It's quite disgusting really, in anyones book. Last week I worked in the house of a guy whose job was to procure PPE for the local hospital trust. It was an eye opening conversation. He is employed by the NHS yet when he did find suitable PPE he was instructed to report higher up the chain. These were then bought at an inflated price by private contractors employed by the government. He was and is absolutely sickened by it, so much so that he was handing in his resignation.
If this sort of thing was a one off case then I could understand it.....but I’m certain it goes on regularly.
