Personal Protective Equipment update

The UK government has delivered millions more pieces of equipment to NHS staff, so that everyone who needs personal protective equipment can get it. A national supply distribution response team, supported by the Armed Forces, has been established to deliver equipment to people who need it the most. 
Over 170 million items of  PPE equipment have been delivered including: 
  • 23 million surgical face masks
  • 42.8 million gloves
  • 13.7 million aprons
  • 182,000 gowns
  • Almost 10 million items of cleaning equipment
  • 2.3 million pairs of eye protectors

Every single GP practice, dental practice, and community pharmacy has had a PPE delivery. All care homes, hospices, and home care providers have, or will shortly have, a delivery.
