RE: Home Antibody Tests for all...22 Aug 2021 10:20
This government just makes my blood boil. They have a perfectly good antibody test available from Abingdon/Omega, which these companies put considerable effort into developing on the governments behalf. Then they decide they don't want them anymore, having taken a small initial order last year. Then they take delivery, but don't pay the £7m to Abingdon that they owe (having used the tests and cleared payment back in January). Now they order £124m worth of AB tests from a startup company...Thriva, whose tests have to be sent off to a laboratory.
We may be in with a chance of AB orders from the govt after the Abingdon court case concludes in December, but they won't order any before that case is resolved. Either way, I hate these lying, conniving, corrupt bunch of tory bar stewards. They've shafted the UK diagnostics industry at every turn.
