The Conservative Government allowed the PPE stockpile to run down & then bought 50 million unusable masks from an offshore finance company with no history of providing NHS equipment. Our health workers were not fully protected. Tragically lives were lost. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53672841

The latest PPE scandal cannot be swept under the carpet. Last month Labour called for a National Audit Office investigation into the Government’s mishandling of PPE procurement. These mistakes can never happen again. We owe it to all those who care for us. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/nao-ps5bn-ppe-contracts-investigation-urged_uk_5f1008a3c5b6d14c33632481

This isn’t just an issue of waste or questionable contracts, it is about getting the right PPE to the people who desperately needed it. Those working on the frontline put their lives on the line. The duty of Government is to keep them safe. They failed. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/government-wastes-millions-50million-coronavirus-22477733
