Not just the military. Was working in a covid test center. Government removed funding for the test centers at educational establishments. I asked if the £3million worth of kit was going to be given to the local NHS trust for use in NHS centers. Was informed that they had approached them, but they had refused them. Allegedly the logic behind this refusal - which I can quite believe - was if the local trusts took £3 million worth of kit from us, then come next year at budget time £3 million would be cut from the budgets. Thus that equipment is sitting a store waiting to go life ex, and then be destroyed.
