Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, global demand for PPE has been at unprecedented levels., the Department of Health and Social Care had distributed more than 2.2 billion items of PPE for use by health and social care services in England.Almost 28 billion items of PPE have been ordered overall from UK-based manufacturers and international partners to provide a continuous supply in the coming months.
Temporary scrapping of VAT on PPE has been extended until the end of October to make it easier and cheaper for care homes, charities and businesses to acquire the vital kit. A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said:"We do not accept these claims. We have been working around the clock to deliver PPE to the frontline throughout this global pandemic, working with industry, the NHS and the armed forces to create a distribution network to supply over 58,000 settings.
"We will continue to give the NHS whatever it needs and protect it for the future. We have written off £13.4bn of NHS hospital debt, recently announced another £1.5bn of capital investment, and we will deliver 50,000 more nurses by end of this Parliament."
