LONDON: Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s call on UK manufacturers to build potentially life-saving ventilators is fuelling frustration among companies willing to help, but doubtful of the plan.
“They will not be able to get as many as they want,” said Craig Thompson, head of products and marketing at Penlon Ltd, which makes anaesthesia machines that perform some of the functions of intensive care ventilators. During the meeting, he urged the industry to make as many new ventilators as possible by getting involved in the design, assembly, testing and shipping, according to a statement.Tony Hague, chief executive officer of Midlands-based manufacturer PP Control & Automation, said he called a government hot line to offer assistance but was met with an answering machine.
