You're kind of making my point for me. You're correct in what you are saying. That 1m is seen as a waste in a business sense. No one disputes that. But because it is seen as a waste in a business sense when you have a pandemic like such it hampers your ability to fight it as businesses have not prepared for it and nor are they interested in preparing for it. There is no long term planning - only a focus on the short term (you don't want me to call it profit or profitability) so we can call it whatever you like - the principle remains the same. This is due to how society has been structured by those whose interests it serves as a priority.
TBH it doesnt matter what product it is regarding the NHS. Whether it be Vents, Gowns, Masks, etc.
For example, there are around 6 companies that sell surgical gowns. Due to the current situation there aren't any.

They are made in China.
It will always be "supply and demand" having worked in this for 20yrs that's how it always has been and always will.
