Protective Clothing: Eyes

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the assessed requirement for PPE eye protection was for the period May to December 2020; and whether that amount has been procured.

Answer

Amid unprecedented global pressures on supply chains, since 25 February 2020, over 3.7 billion items of personal protective equipment (PPE) have been delivered to frontline workers thanks to the efforts of the Government, National Health Service, industry and the armed forces to massively scale up distribution networks.

Our PPE Strategy, published on 28 September, sets out how the Government is preparing for a potential second wave or current pandemic alongside winter seasonal pressures.

PPE delivery statistics are published on a weekly basis and provide the latest number of PPE items which have been distributed for use by health and social care services in England. They are available online at GOV.UK.
