Intisar Chowdhury, son of Dr Abdul Mabud Chowdhury, a consultant urologist at Homerton hospital in east London, called on Hancock asking whether he regrets not taking his father’s concerns over protecting gear seriously enough. Dr Mabud, 53, urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson to ensure every NHS worker was protected in a direct plea on Facebook last month shortly after being taken ill with COVID-19. His 18-year-old son confronted Hancock on the Nick Ferrari radio show on LBC on Tuesday, according to the report. Intisar earlier called on the government to apologise to the families of healthcare workers who have died. He added that he did not want to "play down" the efforts of those working to get personal protective gear to the front line.
