Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the oral contribution of the Paymaster General of 5 January 2022, Official Report, column 122, if he will list the more than 30 British-based companies who have signed contracts to provide 3.9 billion items of PPE including information on (a) the number and percentage of PPE items provided by each company and (b) the monetary value of each contract.
The Department has signed contracts with 31 United Kingdom-based companies for 3.9 billion units of personal protective equipment (PPE), of which 2.5 billion units have been delivered so far. Currently, 247 million items are yet to be manufactured, although these orders are scheduled to be delivered by the end of March 2022. The 3.9 billion items represent 10.7% of all items ordered during the pandemic.
The following table shows the companies involved in the UK Make programme. Contracts have been signed with two further UK-based companies. However, as some items are not manufactured in the UK, these products are not included in the 3.9 billion total.
