Sterility test sample flawed, admits DHSC statistics expert in ppe medpro trial
Briefly

The High Court trial between PPE Medpro and the DHSC continues to expose cracks in the government's case, particularly around the credibility of their gown sterility tests. During the eighth day of proceedings, Professor Anne Hutton admitted that the testing program had no formal sampling method, raising questions about its validity and the subsequent breach of contract claims against PPE Medpro. The reliance on a mere 60 gowns from a total of 25 million, compounded by the lack of records on storage conditions, further diminished the government's argument.
The sampling method for testing the gowns, as revealed by Professor Hutton, lacked any rigorous statistical protocol, undermining the government's claims.
Under cross-examination, the flaws in the gown testing program were made clear, and admissions about non-sterile conditions weakened the DHSC's position.
