The NHS Supply Chain and Clipper Logistics supported by the Armed Forces, are working to regularly push personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies to every National Health Service trust in England. From 25 February to 26 April we delivered over 997 million items of PPE across the health and social care system within England, plus tens of millions more will have been distributed by the devolved administrations. This figure includes 143 million masks.

We are working round the clock to support the NHS supply chain and to better enable the service respond to the unprecedented demand for PPE.
