" The Number One risk on The Risk register across The UK was for a flu pandemic and what came towards us was not a flu pandemic but a very transmittable disease in The community, " She Said .

" Therefore The need to scale up and have The capability to deal with that was something we had to dig very deep into very quickly. "
