Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many FFP3 masks are available to the NHS as at 3 February 2021.
The information is not yet available in the format requested. The operational process to build stockpiles is supported by a range of detailed operational and management information. We currently are working to fully validate this data.
In December 2020, we established a four-month stockpile of COVID-19 critical personal protective equipment (PPE), including FFP3 masks. We are confident we can meet the demand from the National Health Service for FFP3s and other PPE throughout the winter period.
