Oxygen fears are refuted by hospitals trust. There is no shortage!

By Neil Speight 6th Jan 2021

THE management team of hospitals that serve the mid and south Essex region has responded today to play down concerns raised on a number of social media sites that oxygen supplies are running short because of the pressures of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a bid to stop rumours the Mid and South NHS Foundation Trust responded to a question from Thurrock Nub News today (Wednesday, 6 January) to say: "We are not running low or out of our oxygen supply."

The concern had centred on the increased demand for oxygen for the treatment of patients suffering from Covid-19 who might be put on ventilators or other breathing-assisted treatments.
