Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - North Rhine-Westphalia Health Minister Karl-Josef Laumann (CDU) has defended the controversial contract award to the van Laack company without tendering for smocks.
"It wasn't normal times," Laumann said in the state parliament on Tuesday and recalled the corona outbreak in the Heinsberg district in February.
The shortage of protective equipment for personnel in the nursing and medical sectors was suddenly great due to the interrupted supply chains to Asia.
Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) had no influence apart from the tip, said the Minister of Health.
These disposable gowns could be used as protective clothing in every North Rhine-Westphalian hospital as long as the pandemic situation persists, he said with reference to the test procedures.
The business of ten million protective gowns with the fashion manufacturer concerns, among other things, the opposition, because the son of Laschet had established contact with the company.
Johannes "Joe" Laschet is a fashion blogger and advertising partner of the Mönchengladbach company.
