Just seen this on ODX BB, is NCYT also in Favour with the UK minister?7 May 2021 15:30
Not sure if I am behind the curve here. Below is a cut and paste from the ODX BB from just after 8am this morning. Are Novacyt also in with a shout to supply? It would be amazing if Handjob spoke kindly of NCYT like he does of ODX.
""For those in any doubt see the GOV UK media briefing, below:
Health Secretary Matt H quoted in the release saying about ODX:
"Rapid lateral flow tests are essential to help us identify cases of the virus we otherwise wouldn’t find and preventing the virus spreading in our workplaces and communities.
These tests will help keep businesses open, our children return to school, people to visit their loved ones in care homes safely.
British innovation is at the forefront of our response to this pandemic and this partnership with 2 Great British firms will help us to build back better by tapping into the UK’s domestic talent, ingenuity and industry".
Lord Bethell, Minister for Health, is quoted saying about ODX:
"The UK continues to lead the way in medical diagnostics, and we are working with companies such as Omega and Global Access Diagnostics to build on our expertise in the field. The whole industry has come together to respond to COVID-19 and get us back to the people and things we love, helping us stop the spread of the virus now while strengthening our resilience for the future".
And then his tweet...
"@JimBethell We’re investing in 2m LFDs per week by end May from British firms @OmegaDiagnostic and @mologic to stop the spread of COVID-19. Investment in talent will help "build back better" & create 100s of jobs".
""That's more than a very big hint - it's confirmation of what is coming. Not long to wait now.
