´óÏó´«Ã½

Earlier on Friday we reported that a boss of an NHS trust had contacted the ´óÏó´«Ã½ with concerns about the provision of gowns for staff during the coronavirus crisis.

He had asked the ´óÏó´«Ã½ for the phone numbers of Burberry and Barbour - two companies which have become involved in making gowns - because he was concerned about supply shortages.

We should clarify that the person concerned is not the boss of an NHS trust but is part of a network of organisations helping to source personal protective equipment for some NHS trusts.

The mistake was caused by a misunderstanding of the person's role in the fight against the pandemic.
