My Department does not hold this information. The Secretary of State for Health has previously written to all Members (23 April) to outline that the UK Government has had over 8,000 offers of PPE since the outbreak began. Approximately 1,000 of these offers have been taken forward.

New offers of support to the UK Government should go through https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus-support-from-business. Offers of support to the Welsh Government should go through https://gov.wales/provision-of-personal-protection-equipment.
