NHS NMP22 Availability
28th April
Paul Stratham of 'Kyowa Hakko' in Slough said that neither 'Derriford' nor the 'Royal Cornwall' have the NMP22 kits but that the 'Royal United Bath' and 'Royal Devon and Exeter' do.
I will call each to confirm and see if I can get a test at the first two and enquire if the others are about to get the kits.
Paul said there is no reason a local GP surgery can't order them. I'm thinking they don't want the expense. He gave quoted a price of £480 for 24, from the wholesaler Movianto.

Whilst talking to Jane Billing at the Royal Devon and Exeter, about the availability of BTA Stat, she mentioned she had seen reference to NMP22. ????Call Mandy Miller again on 01392 411611 ????. Check out Mr Stott on 01392 402539.
14:25 Spoke to Mr Crundwell's secretary, who was very helpful. She managed to find Mr Stott but apparently he hasn't heard of either the NMP22 or the BTA Stat options ???
