Medical equipment firms making much-needed ventilators to help coronavirus patients are ramping up their production. Supply companies such as OES in Witney are even altering their designs so they are easier to make and more user friendly. They hope the more efficient process will allow the company to meet any shortages in hospitals. The NHS currently has access to 8,175 ventilators, including 691 from private hospitals and a few more from the Ministry of Defence. Companies including Dyson, JCB, Airbus and Nissan are joining the effort and working hard to produce the sought-after machines.
