Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what medical equipment his Department has procured for the Welsh Government in response to the covid-19 outbreak.
Personal protective equipment supplies are being coordinated at a United Kingdom-wide level and allocation is made based on clinical need across the whole country, which ensures a planned and coordinated response to this global pandemic. Furthermore, the Department, working with NHS England, has sourced a large number of oxygen and ventilation devices for the UK. These devices have been distributed across the devolved administrations and crown dependencies. Devices have included oxygen concentrators, ventilators, patient monitors and syringe drivers.
