Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that all frontline NHS workers have access to FFP3 masks.
This question was answered on 1st February 2021
For workers in the National Health Service, infection prevention and control guidance, which is published on GOV.UK and updated most recently on 21 January 2021, sets out the occasions when an FFP3 mask should be used.
By December 2020, we had built a four-month stockpile of COVID-19 critical personal protective equipment, including FFP3 masks. We are confident we have a secure supply for frontline workers in the NHS.
