VIRUS patients were given fresh hope yesterday as more than half a dozen firms answered a call to make lifesaving ventilators - which could be with the NHS 'within days'.

Nick Grey, founder and chief executive of Worcester-based GTech, was phoned by the Government's chief commercial officer in the early hours of Sunday.
