You plan for events even if a certain scenario does not come to fruition.
There WERE plans in place. They've been publicly available for some time. Eg There was £100m of items held in stock preparing for a possible pandemic.
The snag comes when you(and everybody else) rely on replacements from China, where not only were they badly affected themselves, but there is a long delivery time to ship large quantities by container ship.
