Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what deliveries of personal protective equipment have arrived in the UK since 1 January 2020, by date of delivery; and what equipment was contained within each of those deliveries.
Since 25 February 2020 the Department has distributed over 2.7 billion personal protective equipment (PPE) items for use by health and social care services in England.
These deliveries have included masks (types II, IIR, FFP2, FFP3), eye protectors, gloves, gowns, coveralls and aprons.
Though the global market remains challenging, we have procured over 31 billion items of PPE from United Kingdom manufacturers and overseas suppliers.
