Thank you for that clarification. The word profiteering comes to mind. Is the government doing anything about that? Or are they taking a "laissez faire/let the market decide/demand is outstripping supply therefore prices will rise" approach? Do all care/nursing homes now come under the NDC? Or are there exceptions?

Care Homes and Social Care Companies are not being 'given' PPE. All the Government are doing is sourcing it for them - the companies still have to pay for it.

I failed to say first and foremost do the owners of these Nursing Homes not have a duty of care to there residents to keep them safe and out of harms way.

There are no good reason to have bonfires ! if you have a garden just build yourself a composter and make some compost ( simple ) why do you want to annoy your neighbors ? Why do you want to ruin the air you breath? children health are at risk so is yours , if you want to breathe in smoke go lock yourself in your bedroom with a packet of fags and smoke away
