RE: Innova Payments for May 202115 Jul 2021 16:40
That minus figure in April for Innova in the above posting isn't a mistake, looks like they paid back £181M, but of course got another big wad in May.
Over a series of payments during May, Surescreen received a total of £23.6M. So about 8% value compared to Innova for May.
I wonder what Surescreens monthly capacity is ? Either they are only getting small orders compared to Innova, or they have a comparatively very small monthly capacity. It raises the question that when ODX & GAD start output, is the combined ODX/GAD/Surescreen output enough to make Innova redundant, if not then uk gov simply can not afford to remove their authorisation, even if the test isn't what they would like.
Also, the Innova test is still the same, very uncomfortable one to administer. A requirement of the DPS was that the test had to be the less invasive type. The Innova supply predates the DPS, so I wonder does that play into things too.
Also, given that in the results ODX clearly indicated that the companies they are talking with all have home use approval, I can not see that including Innova, as many people unsupervised, simply will not go right to the far end of the nose/mouth, making the test unsuitable for home settings.
So it still remains a very critical unknown, ODX said that all the companies they have engaged with are mass producing and have home test approval already....who are they ?
