Leon Grice: Rako Science executive director says he's been talking to the Ministry of Health about RATs since August - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

The Government's being criticised again for its slowness in acquiring rapid antigen tests. 
It's ordered another 36 million RATs, meaning the country will have access to 55 million over the next two months. 
It's reckoned about nine million will be used every week, once Omicron peaks. 
Rako Science executive director, Leon Grice, told Mike Hosking he's been talking to the Ministry of Health about RATs since August. 
“Certainly, were stitching together something very rushed after Christmas and if we’d been doing it before Christmas, we’d be in a lot better shape.”
