My first thought was that is a hell of a lot of patients, but anyway.... a good question about Earths resources would be "why have people been chopping down trees for 150+ years to print Tory propaganda ?"

One trust said they were using 70,000 items of PPE a day that simply get incinerated - wow it that really the best use of the earth's resources?

Your own post that shows Lincolnshire usage shows they use over 70K items per day - and I wouldn't have thought Lincolnshire would be a particular populated trust?

As for using the earth's resources, I would suggest there are hundreds and thousands of other "Waste of Earth's resources" that need to be looked at before worrying about this.

I would say its appropriate to the population it serves - Leeds has two hospitals for c500k Bradford has one for c250k - 70k a day seems in the ball park for most units.

The report into the actions of this government will be interesting reading if it is ever released or will it be bogged down in various committees like many others.
The longer it goes on the failures of the government just continue to come to light.
