The Liberal Party notes with pride the tremendous efforts being made by UK companies to supply the NHS with vital equipment such as PPE and ventilators during the current pandemic.

The party believes that the NHS should take advantage of this opportunity to utilise domestic production to secure future equipment procurement.

Such actions will prompt increased business activity during the countries post-pandemic recovery providing valuable investment and employment.

The current economic disruption has already highlighted the inherent dangers in relying on global supply chains and production concentrated in a single region or country of the world.

The UK has a long history of innovation and this should be harnessed to the long-term benefit of the economy.
