Give British firms who already make ventilators the NHS contract.

The contract for extra ventilators should go to existing British firms who ALREADY make approved units. Not to DYSON, who don't have approval and are made in Singapore. This will delay the units being available to our NHS, and take money out of our own economy at a time when we need it.

Since you started your petition the Government has confirmed its plans for increasing ventilator capacity, which has included stating that the department is ending support for a Dyson device: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-ventilator-challenge-devices-arrive-in-uk
