Group of key workers announced and doing a rough calculation it could you mention ventilators and you have mentioned be up to 25 youve been asking various pupils. Whats manufacturers to help with the interesting about this school is production of ventilators, give its part of a wider us education the timeline if you can, how soon trust, around 23 schools, so the before they are produced and trust, around 23 schools, so the trust itself will get an idea they of are then in our hospitals ready for exactly how many children across. Nhs staff to use . Yes, not only children of key obviously workers over the last few weeks that also enable honourable situation as well, so this also weve been buying ventilators, then we made children that need to be looked after and then they will this call last weekend for manufacturers come forward and make a plan over them because its clear even if we the next weeks and months. Buy all those available, the school has packed ready for the we will pupils, paper packs, theyve had still need more, and anyway the those ready since whole world is short of ventilators. The response has been tuesday so they we re those ready since tuesday so they were ahead of the announcement at unbelievable. If you have written in an e mailed that stage and those with access to in and havent had a reply computers and laptops, there will be yet, thats because weve had thousands that electronic distance working of people come forward with offers as well. As with so many aspects and therefore we have just of the coronavirus crisis, people are published in the spec online, the engineering basically trying to get on with life details of the ventilators and make the best of what is very we need, often a bad deal. So details of the ventilators we need, so you details of the ventilators we need, so you can details of the ventilators we need, so you can get on and start making john, thank you them and more than half a dozen very much. Companies have already made one in wheel chat to you later on in the morning. Thank you. Prototype to check with us so were we will. Happy with the quality. There are increasing concerns about how workers jobs and wages it is will be protected during unbelievable. In a matter of days, the economic fallout. Later, the chancellor, rishi sunak, is expected to make a further some of these top engineering announcement to address that. Companies have already turned their ben is in the studio in london hand to this effort and already and can tell us more. Got ben, what can we their prototypes out. Expect certainly encouraging to hear from the chancellor Something Like that, once today . The this help has been announced for prototype. How quickly is businesses but theres been Strong Demand from all sides of the house it approved and how quickly can the and for workers to also be ventilators be in hospitals . Ina protected . Ventilators be in hospitals . In a matter of days. Youre right. The end of next week . I very much hope so. Chancellor announcing the 350 billion to help i would be businesses, and that was in the form surprised if it was longer than of all sorts of things, but that, because we need to prove they loan guarantees, business rate relief but work as a ventilator. A lot of criticism that addresses but ventilators, the top leg the business side but doesnt is 50 years look old, so it is more complicated than at what workers might do, workers who stand to lose their income you or i could put together, or living if the business they work for naga, but its not that complicated for a cant operate. It doesnt qualified engineer address technology. Those businesses that rely on thenifs qualified engineer technology. Then its a matter of scale and getting customers through the door getting some of these big everyday, hairdressers, coffee manufacturing plants been able to shops, cafes, hotels, travel firms, turn their hand to all of those set this to really scale up the production. To suffer as we stay at home and dont go out and people have asked me, how many do you have our normal day to day need, matt . The answer is we need as life. The calls now are for perhaps a system many as you can possibly make and we will like that adopted in denmark, buy them, because if we end thats up with where the government pays up to 75 too many as the of the salary of any staff who would nhs, thats a big otherwise have been laid off, great problem to have and other or a system in germany where the countries around the world need government steps in and tops up the ventilators. No number is too salaries for workers on big, we just want People Manufacturing lower hours. According to the spec on the the problem is there isnt website. The sense of urgency and necessarily the logistical system in the need to find out timings, place to get that money to people which is why im asking, who need it, so one proposal because you said thats been discussed is whats known as the intensive care units are close reverse national insurance, to capacity. When you say that, how or reverse national insurance, or reverse paye, thats where the money close . To capacity. When you say that, how close . How many beds and how much is credited to your room is left . Im not sure Bank Statement ive said that. There is a capacity in 01 is credited to your Bank Statement or payslip rather than being deducted, so that could be one intensive care across the option. Nonetheless, the government system. By looking at all sorts of plans to get the nature of the disease, there are money to people who need it some areas of the country where theres more of a, and well get more details from the chancellor in that press conference but frankly one this afternoon. We will be keeping of the massive advantages of the nhs a close eye on that. Ben, as we can make sure thank you. People get car makerjaguar land treatment wherever thats rover is to suspend production at its uk plants from next week available. Because of the outbreak. At the moment we do have it hopes to reopen the sites in the West Midlands and merseyside a capacity. We need to build that in four weeks time. Its factories in brazil and india capacity faster than the will continue their operations. Disease drives the more people have died from coronavirus in italy need up.
