The company added, “When you see someone from the government saying the NHS is getting what it needs, that is a LIE. We have been contacted this week by representatives of NHS procurement all over the country, trying to source basic protective equipment and clothing”. 

The MedFet is an online store which claims to be 100 per cent dedicated to ‘medical fetish’. They apparently have stock of more than 250 medical-grade garments. In a tweet they said that the NHS contacting them indicates that ‘something is seriously wrong’, further calling it ‘scandalous’.
