Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer 1 February 2022 to Question 101748, on PPE Medpro: Baroness Mone, how many suppliers of PPE to whom contracts were issued outside the High Priority Lane were rated as (a) red, (b) amber and (c) green in his Department's financial assessment.

All offers received a rigorous financial, commercial, legal and policy assessment led by officials from various Government departments using a number of different processes to complete due diligence checks. A proportion of the assessments made included a red, amber or green rating. However, as multiple systems were used to record these checks, the information requested is not held centrally and to obtain it would incur disproportionate cost.
