Everybody working on the front line, including dietitians and other professions, deserves to have the equipment they need to do their job safely and the Government is working night and day to make that happen.

Having begun with a supply chain designed to accommodate delivery to 226 National Health Service trusts, we are now providing essential personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies to 58,000 different settings, including care homes, hospices and community care organisations.

Since 25 February, we have delivered over 2.3 billion items of PPE across the health and social care system within England.
