Have you got a source for that bit of information.
Because my search, seems to indicate they are still going ahead with it.

E.g. From around 1 week ago (JCB, are making parts for the Dyson ventilator).

Google can't seem find anything saying they (government, or anyone) have stopped (Dyson).

They should. In the begging of the video guy says they design it in this way to not tap into limited existing ventilator supply chain. You can only make as many devices as parts you can source.

Indeed.  I think it would be more helpful if they were able to manufacture parts required for existing designs to be able to ramp up production more quickly.

Agreed.
Focus on helping existing production units ramp up production, not on reinventing the wheel.

Spacex produces valve for Medtronic. Also you cannot simply start making components sourced from various manufacturers. You'd need to design an alternative component and build production line first. (Talking about reinventing the wheel).

I had a link but I can't find the damn thing now. It was reputable as well.

The following article, seems to say (from around 1.5 weeks ago), that Dyson and the Goverment, are giving differing stories about the 10,000 ordered ventilators.
