(asked on 22nd February 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to reduce financial support for PPE costs in the social care sector.
This question was answered on 28th February 2023
The Government is continuing to provide the adult social care sector with free personal protective equipment (PPE) for COVID-19 needs until March 2024 or until each category of items runs out, whichever is earlier. As the free PPE offer ends, care providers will return to being fully responsible for their PPE costs as they were before the pandemic and have continued to be for non-COVID-19 PPE.
