Some things are not easy to say
I’ve always hated waste. Not just cost, or carelessness, but the idea of waste. I never accepted that 10% of bricks or roof tiles would be broken by handling, or 15% of plasterboard deliveries would be wasted. I always challenged such assumptions – and when I became a CEEQUAL assessor, would try to gently nudge jobs I was assessing not to drop points by careless waste. It didn’t even have to be related to value; I once watched a worker assisting in the application of a skin-irritating substance needlessly change pair after pair of latex gloves. It was just deliberately throwing away someone else’s money – out of irritation at being employed, being instructed, being constrained. Even an office worker who throws a new biro slow to start writing in the bin before giving it a chance is in part just kicking his boss, his firm and his office. If he was at home, if they were his own gloves or his own biros he wouldn’t do it.
So I can understand Matt Hancock’s difficulty yesterday in urging health and care workers not to cream through the nation’s stocks of PPE quite so vigorously. It’s OK to wear the same mask to see two patients in a row; you don’t need to change plastic aprons every 15 minutes – well, I guess that’s what he wanted to say but couldn’t really say it. Can you imagine the press fury at asking NHS workers who are losing their lives to cut back on 10p latex gloves?
We need to remember that just as all soldiers are not gallant, not all health workers are selfless. Many will be feeling pissed off at their well-paid indoors job with no heavy lifting suddenly turning lethal, with no hiding place at home because the bloody neighbours are all standing in their drives clapping every morning at going-to-work time. What makes the workforce as a whole exceptional is that 85% do turn up each day, and care diligently and conscientiously for our sick and dying.
So some PPE will be wasted out of genuine fear and ignorance – this is a training matter. Some will be wasted (a very small proportion, I’d guess) by those wanting to run out of PPE to make a political point – this is a disciplinary matter. But most I’d think will be wasted because wasting a mask, gloves, gown or apron is about the only gesture open to workers working under the most stressful of conditions, with the nation’s gaze upon them. I think we must just accept this as a small price to pay.
