Why can't we manufacture our own PPE?

Just been reading in the news about delayed shipment of gowns from Turkey.

I know this stuff takes time to build a manufacturing base but why isn't the govt putting time, effort and money into making it in the UK? I've heard of Barbour and Burberry but surely there are other companies for masks, gloves and gowns?

Where is the mass call out made for PPE that was made for ventilators?

It pisses me off but I'm just venting.

@OhSweetNuthin, how disheartening. It appears it is about money, after all.
