Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 6 April 2020 to Question 30666 on Northwick Park Hospital: coronavirus, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of supply of FFP3 masks at Northwick Park hospital; and if he will make a statement.

There is unprecedented, global demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Government, NHS Supply Chain, and the National Health Service are working hard with industry to secure additional supplies and manufacture further PPE. For acute, mental health, community, integrated care and ambulance trusts there is a PPE dedicated supply channel delivering all core PPE products used for managing and treating patients with COVID-19 such as eye protection, aprons, gloves, gowns, masks and hand sanitiser. Pallet deliveries are being made on a regular basis.
