Department of Health and Social Care: PPE Medpro

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking against PPE Medpro after their failure to repay £122m of public money by the 4pm deadline on 15 October 2025.

Answer

PPE Medpro Ltd went into administration prior to the court’s announcement on 1 October 2025. The Department has instructed lawyers who are engaged with all relevant parties regarding enforcement of the court decision, and this includes the administrators.

Due to the sensitive and legally complex nature of recovery activity we are unable to offer a detailed commentary on the discussions as this would risk compromising the legal team’s efforts.
