Hi there Mr Hancock, you might know
my father Dr Chowdhury.
when he was unwell he wrote an open letter the prime minister
appealing for more PPE for
NHS frontline workers.
It was a request that was ignored.
Two weeks later he passed away
and since then
over 100 NHS and social care workers have
passed away from contracting the virus
Do you regret not taking my dad's concerns,
my 11 year old sister's dad's concerns
and my [mum's] husband's concerns
seriously enough?
My dad that we've all lost?
Intasar, I'm really sorry about
your dad's death
and I've seen the comments that
you've made and what you've said
in public and I'm I think it's very brave
of you to be speaking out in public.
We took very, very seriously what
your father said and we've been working
round the clock to ensure that there's
enough protective equipment
and in the case of anybody who works
in the NHS or in social care
and has died from coronavirus,
we look into it in each case
to find out the reasons where they might
have caught it and what lessons we can learn.
So absolutely it's very important
that these lessons are learnt
and we find out what we need
to find out
but what I can assure you
inside is that we took very seriously
your father's concerns that he
raised and we are absolutely doing
everything we can to get people
the PPE they need.
