The report clearly showed that the NHS and everyone involved with health issues were completely unprepared to cope with such an event. Those in charge did nothing. There will be reasons for the decision to kick the issue into the long grass. I think it has been obvious for some time that those who have been involved with running the health service have been unable to get round the difficulty that there is never enough money. Is there any indication of the cost that would have been involved in implementing the measures needed to prepare for a pandemic as set out in the 2016 test? What would have been cut to allow for this?

It's not fine to shout and talk over people. Piers is trying hard to expose the mistakes that have been made, which is fine, but I think he would get more revealing information if he made sure that the person being interviewed knew what the questions would be so that they could give meaningful answers.

Last point, you buy the plastic gloves in boxes of 100. They are all the same and I don't think they are ever sold as pairs of gloves.
They are elected members of Parliament if they can’t take criticism what are they really there for ,Morgan can be pedantic no doubt but he’s essentially asking questions that need answers ,why would you give them the heads up on what you were going to ask can they not work that out themselves in the current climate..!!!

How much money is not enough when it comes to the NHS ,have there been cuts undoubtedly but the numbers are huge how much of that money is squandered through bad management/practices you can never have enough if your essentially pouring money down a hole.
