Sanofi (a private company, not UK.gov) are stockpiling, which answers the question. It seems to be relatively easy to increase the size of the stockpile
You're probably right on this - I don't know. I'd suggest that it might be relatively easy for a company to do so with their drugs - after all, once they run out then they just won't have any to sell, which would be bad for their bottom line but not much else. Increasing inventory until you can't fit any more in the fridges certainly seems a pragmatic solution by a single company.
But for the UK govt to claim to want to do so in order to protect an entire population (which might include quantities of drugs that might be unprofitable for a company to stockpile and which I guess are all manufactured by different producers, and whose rates of usage the govt probably don't know) seems to me to be a more difficult problem. I guess they could just rely on their suppliers being pragmatic and hopefully doing it for them...

I had an online discussion last week on another forum with someone who had voted for Brexit because he was worried about left-wing facism. I vehemently held the position that the very concept was fabricated by the right wing press.
Reading the last few pages here I’m seriously reconsidering that position.
Sanofi (a private company, not UK.gov) are stockpiling, which answers the question. It seems to be relatively easy to increase the size of the stockpile. Either way, a solution of sorts exists (whether you are satisfied or not with it). But a stream of personal ad hominem attacks based on fear of something that the poster was seeking to discuss is not ok in a mature, respectful discussion, and will never change anything. Like it or not you’re part of the problem if you can’t see this.
