PPE waste and blood test tube shortage

from Inside Health · host BBC Radio 4

Flying London to New York and back. 244 times every day. For half a year. That’s the size of the carbon footprint of all the personal protective equipment used in health and social care in England during the first six months of the pandemic. So I take a look at how the NHS is going green including efforts to make a reusable facemask. Also, a shortage of vials for blood tests has GP Navjoyt Ladher asking whether we were testing too much anyway.PRESENTER: James Gallagher PRODUCER: Beth Eastwood
