RE: DHSC recruitment for packaging at Alva.18 Nov 2021 10:49
Twatty, none of Abingdon's issues apply to ODX. ODX do not have a dispute with the DHSC. On the contrary, they have an agreement to supply the DHSC with a contract for public health settings. The contract is generic and does not require an ODX test necessarily. Sir John Bell advised the public on the 'Today' programme, radio 4, just 10 days ago, that manufacturing for UK tests was being brought onshore and that a UK firm is now progressing through MHRA.
Regarding commercial sales the new Medical Devices Regulations 2021 requires a new desk top assessment for all tests before they can hit the market. Bit of a pain. But it also presents a completely level playing field for ODX vs big and smaller firms. The European Notified Body authorisation will hold some advantage if we are the first to achieve it, for obtaining UKCTA. There are no self tests o on the UKCTA list yet. We could be the first. That's why Twatty is nervous. He ain't closed his short. Suppose that's why he's here all day, trying to find a chink in my posts. Saddo. Reckless saddo.
