Supplies of protective equipment to carers in Scotland have been hit by the decision of the four largest manufacturers in the UK saying they will limit supplies to England, it has been revealed.

But Dr Donald Macaskill, chief executive of Scottish Care, tells BBC Radio Scotland that, although he remains concerned about supplies, he believes they are improving.

"We are facing an additional problem and that is that the care home sector and the care at home sector had traditionally ordered PPE from various sources, but the four largest companies in the UK last week said they were not sending to Scotland and their priority was going to be England - English NHS and then English social care providers.

"So, within two or three days, we've had a massive dry up of procurement into Scotland and that's had a really serious impact on our care homes and care organisations. Things have improved over the weekend. We are confident the stuff is there but just needs to be put out."

Criticism of the UK government's response to coronavirus is growing after one of its top scientific advisers said the country was likely to be among the worst affected in Europe.

The warning from Sir Jeremy Farrar came as UK hospital deaths passed 10,000 on Sunday.

Sue Hill, vice-president of the Royal College of Surgeons, said she believed UK deaths could rise to 30,000., external

"Cabinet ministers are standing up every day, addressing us as if we’re on a war footing and giving Churchillian quotes when they could be doing a few simple things like getting more bits of plastic and paper [personal protective equipment for medical staff] on to wards,” Hill said.

Dozens of NHS workers are known to have died so far, with doctors who came out of retirement, as well as a disproportionate number of workers from black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds among those who have lost their lives.

The government faced serious criticism early on in the spread of the pandemic in the UK, after messages from officials led to confusion over the strategy being pursued, and the country was relatively slow to shut down non-essential businesses and public gatherings.

The UK was "too slow to prepare" for the amount of PPE equipment required by health professionals working during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to Edinburth University's Linda Bauld.

The public health expert tells BBC Radio Scotland: "The huge logistical challenge that the UK and Scottish governments are facing to get this to all the right places to where the virus is present and where professionals are seeing people who might have the virus is really difficult and it's right that people are frustrated and angry when we really should have been preparing for this many, many weeks ago."

Professor Bauld says information about the experiences of health staff in China, Singapore and other countries was available in January.

"I think what we are seeing across the UK, and Scotland within that, in terms of critical care, those numbers are high, but they are perhaps not as high as they might have been and the system seems to be coping, particularly in that in-patient setting," she adds

"But what we're seeing now is high rates of community transmission of the virus - we've got very good evidence of that. There are multiple settings where PPE is needed. New guidance was issued far too late in my view by Public Health England but on behalf of UK public health bodies, including Health Protection Scotland just a few days ago and it highlights the areas we need to cover.

"So you are looking at primary out-patient, community and social care settings, ambulance staff, paramedics, pharmacists, care home staff and a bunch of other settings."

Scotland's National Clinical Director Jason Leitch says the Scottish government's strategy is all about balancing three harms, and that the focus will eventually shift.

Speaking on BBC Breakfast, he said: "All the way along here we have been trying to balance three harms. The harm from coronavirus, the very clear mortality and morbidity of the disease.

"The secondly harm is the diseases we are unable to treat if the health service becomes overwhelmed and the third is the harm from the counter measures.

"Everything we do has a cost. So mental illness is up, domestic violence is up, people are scared to go to hospital with their children.

"There is no easy way. Now the principle harm is the coronavirus deaths but there will come a time when we will have to think about the economy, the business and the lockdown measures."

Coronavirus frontline nurses and care staff should only refuse work "as a last resort" if adequate PPE cannot be provided, according to Royal College of Nursing director Theresa Fyffe.

Ms Fyffe has been clarifying new RCN guidance issued to its members at the weekend following continuing concerns about the lack of protective clothing and equipment.

"For nursing staff, this will go against every instinct, but their safety must not be compromised," she tells BBC Radio Scotland's Mornings with Kaye Adams. "We offer guidance about what steps they can take before coming to that judgement."

Ms Fyffe stresses that, because staff had been redeployed to Covid-19 wards and intensive care and some parts of the NHS put on hold - and "numbers have not been as significant as they thought" - there has not been the expected pressure on some parts of the hospital system.

"The pressure is much more in the community," she adds. "The message was to stay at home and be cared for in your community.and be supported by district nurses and care staff and that's where the pressure has been because people have become unwell at home and are requiring regular visits."
