Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that sufficient personal protective equipment is available to GPs that are providing palliative care and are exposed to potential covid-19 patients in the community.

We are working around the clock to give the social care sector and wider National Health Service the equipment and support they need to tackle this outbreak.

Systems set up to supply 226 NHS trusts have scaled up to provide drops of critical equipment to 58,000 healthcare settings including general practitioners (GPs), pharmacies and social care providers. We have made over 24 million items of PPE available to primary care providers
