Yes The test kits do not work again ......

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53705229

So our .GoV knew about this killer virus in january/february

And the diabolical first policy was NOT to put in place massive research/orders and using Tests for all of the UK for 2 - 3 months.

It sat on its hands apart from Boris shaking hands......

A total not fit for purpose .Gov dereliction of duty.

How corrupt do we have to get before the voters realise we are bordering on becoming a so called banana republic.

Soon we’ll be getting emails from Boris saying he needs to find a home for some money instead of the usual mails from Nigeria!

What a laughing stock we have become.

I know its like they .Gov have numbed the public with the - cyborg robot tactic.

Feed us with and use the drip drip effect, so they can do anything they want, whilst thinking they will not be held to account for these single cell - jellyfish - shocking misdemeanors......

Once again you miss quoted what's in the report.

It does NOT say in the report the kits do not work.

It does say the swabs in some kits were not up to standard.

And it does say results from Randox tests were unaffected.

Quote from the bbc

“It comes weeks after the health secretary said Randox kits should not be used until further notice.

In mid-July, Matt Hancock said the swabs in some kits were "not up to standard". Unquote.

The tests would not be withdrawn if they were confident they still worked effectively.

It’s just another look busy and get your mate to make something quickly.

Do we hear of any clawback for substandard supplies. I would like to know.

The first lot to be withdrawn, was because the manufacturing paperwork wasn't complete.

There is a difference between waste and abuse.

Politics can be a dirty business but to say every single politician is corrupt is simply untrue.

The tories have always had links to big business, there is therefore logically bound to be more shenanigans going on.

I'm waiting for someone to actually ask them, why do so many of these companies have links to the tory party?

It's a valid question to ask so why hasn't it been?

Yes there is a difference between waste and abuse but once again its not only been the tories that have done this, labour did too when they were last in, I will agree there are some good politicians though and that not all are corrupt but in my opinion not enough of them I am afraid.

First i would ask how many of these companies are there and then how many of the directors have links with the tories and with labour? once these figures are known we might get an answer,my guess is there are probably more company directors who are tory rather than labour.

If my experiences of the public sector are anything to go by contracts are rarely given to the best, often given to the cheapest but mostly given to those with the fattest brown envelope.

Ex wife was a council internal investigative auditor, amazing how many heads of department chose to leave after she had been in with her team.

Also just as amazing was how many of them ever thought they could get away with some of the scams, some involving hundreds of thousands of pounds.

They are never sacked though & it’s all kept quiet & a little after many will just be at another council.

The tories have always had links to big business, there is therefore logically bound to be more shenanigans going on.

I'm waiting for someone to actually ask them, why do so many of these companies have links to the tory party?

It's a valid question to ask so why hasn't it been?First i would ask how many of these companies are there and then how many of the directors have links with the tories and with labour? once these figures are known we might get an answer,my guess is there are probably more company directors who are tory rather than labour.

But they arent even be asked?

There may be an innocent explanation..ha..but they are not being held to account at all.

Probably.. definitely.Well thats the job of the labour party if anything its them that are not doing their job.The opposition is there to hold the government to account thats the way it works.

True

Ks is too busy paying out to whistleblowers.

But also so.are journalists."

There you go you had the answer to your question all along.

Yes The test kits do not work again ......

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53705229

So our .GoV knew about this killer virus in january/february

And the diabolical first policy was NOT to put in place massive research/orders and using Tests for all of the UK for 2 - 3 months.

It sat on its hands apart from Boris shaking hands......

A total not fit for purpose .Gov dereliction of duty.

Once again you miss quoted what's in the report.

It does NOT say in the report the kits do not work.

It does say the swabs in some kits were not up to standard.

And it does say results from Randox tests were unaffected.

It says the risk is low not unaffected

Quote from the bbc

Quote

“It comes weeks after the health secretary said Randox kits should not be used until further notice.

In mid-July, Matt Hancock said the swabs in some kits were "not up to standard". Unquote.

The tests would not be withdrawn if they were confident they still worked effectively.

It’s just another look busy and get your mate to make something quickly.

Do we hear of any clawback for substandard supplies. I would like to know.

If they are not upto standard I guess they dont work?"

The report does not say they do not work.

If fact as I have already posted

'results from Randox tests were unaffected.'

It doesnt matter what you say - the simple fact is us the public have been 99.9 % brilliant in handling this crisis - where as our .GoV Have been jaw droppingly - shocking - caught in the headlights with his trousers .

Our leader cummings & his side kik - word slogan BoZo our clown have been woeful and not up for the task in hand - as the the report the other week - select committee - used words worse than that.

They have not been fit for purpose.

And now 80% the public think our .Gov has handles it very poorly......

Ask the care homes that they sent to get infected in the thousands without testing even one - when the fire storm started.

You have go to say what have they done? As We did it well.......

From Randox.com:

“STATEMENT FROM RANDOX: 07 August 2020

Randox Laboratories have today taken the decision to recall Covid-19 sample collection kits, following the identification of incomplete EC certification. On 15th July DHSC placed these kits on hold due to the absence of swab certification from an external supplier. To date, Randox have not been provided with evidence to satisfactorily support the CE marking for these swabs. So, noting the lack of CE certification by the supplier and that some kits remain in the field at this time Randox has, as a regulatory measure, initiated the recall of those kits used within the National Testing Programme.

Randox Laboratories will continue to provide high volume Covid-19 testing to the National Testing Programme from their laboratories, based on sample collection kits from other providers.

DHSC have stated the risk to safety is low and test results from Randox kits are not affected.”

Randox have now recalled the batch that the government had originally put on hold.

One of the materials supplier to Randox has not been able to provide the appropriate certification for one component of the kit - and so Randox recall.

Is there anything more corrupt than those dinners they have where business leaders spend grands to sit next to an mp?

This happens whatever party are in as the other poster has pointed out.How about mr blair charging £500,000 for speeches or kinnock and family making millions from the eu this is nothing new and going off point."

Unfortunately wasting money seems to be a given for all governments regardless if its Tory or labour and IT seems to be a favourite. Many billions were wasted on IT projects especially for the NHS some of which never worked and had to be scrapped

Hi Shy bloke

If the kits are recalled they are not fit for purpose so they do not work because they can’t be used.

Whatever the technicality they are useless.

If someone dies because correct procedures aren’t followed the lawsuit in the medical world would be cataclysmic .

The certification is for safety pure and simple.

I personally think the handling of the whole Covid 19 has been quite shocking and caused needless deaths . It doesn’t matter how you wrap this up the Government and the civil service has been asleep on the job.

Puts on Blue tie looks at camera.

As i think i said we are contact tracing everyone that has been close to folk in pubs, will be tested and everyone in that persons bubble will be too....

And .. and ... with our world beating app i say fiddlesticks - everyone who wants a test - will get a test in the coming years... as as we all know anyone can have this virus including children - who are secret spreaders as we say -

Once again if you think you might have had " it "

ALSO Do not ask the NHS to carry out " the test " as we have given them to private made up companies - who are as good as we are......

The NHS after all could not have coped with testing in the dead 4 months all GP surgeries had.......

As we say in the tory party if its not private it not worth diddly squat .. and not fit for purpose......

So many sad stories of loss and now the economic catastrophe to follow. Let’s throw Brexit on top just to really set ourselves on fire.

Boris is not fit for the job of PM and I frankly think the Tories will be sharpening their knives quietly .

My replies have been to the OP who post a link to a report.

The report does NOT say the kits do not work.

The report DOES say the results from the kits work.

If you are going to post a link to a news report at least quote what the report say and don't make up something it does not say.!

The original report doesnt day they do work either.

Hancock said there were safety concerns so most people would assume there is some sort of problem."

Lionel please lean to read..!

Just for you I will again put what the OP report says.

"Results from Randox tests were unaffected.'

Look you are deluded - 70 % of the public do not trust Boris at all, he is a serial lyer, the testing has been diabolical - AND IT HAS BEEN A SHAMBLES and and still is.

We are into the 6th month and our government is just at 40 % capacity and STILL no in community testing for ANYONE THAT WANTS A TEST as anyone can have covid and not know they have it.

Where is the world beating app ? ??

Where is the testing results from our tiny Isle of White data - that was paramount to us all ??????

Actually you are the deluded one.

You started this thread saying the kits do not work and it turns out the kits do work.

So you are posting fake news.

Not unually for someone like you and you don't like been proven wrong either.

Hi Shy bloke

If the kits are recalled they are not fit for purpose so they do not work because they can’t be used.

Whatever the technicality they are useless.

If someone dies because correct procedures aren’t followed the lawsuit in the medical world would be cataclysmic .

Lionel nobody is disputing there was an issue.

The OP stated the kits do not work with a link to a news report.

The report stated the results from the kits were unaffected.

Basically Fake News from the OP.

As I posted days ago!

The kits work.

The manufacturing paperwork isn't upto to the correct specification.

Without the correct paperwork in place, the CE marking becomes invalid.

It seems a bit odd to recall all the kit just cos the wrong paperwork had been issued

Why not put a hold on it and issue the right paper work?

If you read around the situation it’s quite interesting, and gives some insight into what is needed to ensure stuff that is used in society is safe and has a watertight certification audit trail.

The point about paperwork is simply that one of the component parts (the swab part I think) didn’t have a correct CE certificate - what this means is the material supplier/manufacturer of the swab can’t show that it has passed the required testing standard (whatever BS or EN number(s) that is ) - the testing standard might be a whole combination of things such as the source of the material, the point at which the swab breaks etc...

The rest of the kit could be totally 100% ok (all the other parts have their CE tests/certificates) but because this one swab part doesn’t have the necessary certificate it means the kit as a whole doesn’t meet standard.

When the kit was originally withdrawn by HMG it was because at that point Randox we’re seeking the certification from the swab supplier . Time has passed and the supplier hasn’t provided the correct certificate and so in that situation, Randox (not HMG) have recalled them.

Not sure what will happen with the recalled kits - if the swab part will be swapped out for a new certified swab or, as the kit has been out in circulation if they all have to be destroyed.
