as above.
A simulation of an influenza pandemic was undertaken in 2010, and if you read it the level of PPE used was lower. I.e just a surgical mask, not they full visor type.

There’s that word “flu” again. |
The plan was still partly used for this pandemic. The only thing they got wrong by using it was the initial approach to the lockdown (which I haven't had a go at them about).
It doesn't explain why they let PPE stockpile dwindle. Even if we did need more (such as visors) the NHS was in need of basic supplies like N95 face masks, gowns and gloves. This wasn't there either despite them knowing they could be needed from the pandemic response you've linked too and from that 2019 warning.
