  The idea is that they should have been stockpiling them for decades

Their shelf life is generally 5 years at most. Stockpiling "for decades" is worse than useless.

Each hospital having a year rotating supply of the basics shouldnt be an issue though. Anyone know if there are national guidelines?

Then make provisions to ramp up supply. Partner with private industry to secure the supply chain.
