The government has announced that the provision of PPE to the health and care sector will continue until March 2024 or until stocks run out.

Central procurement of PPE is intended to relieve some of the financial burden of procuring individually.

The Department of Health and Social Care said: "Supporting frontline workers remains a priority for the government and NHS trusts, primary care and adult social care providers will continue to receive PPE free of charge to ensure staff and their patients are protected against Covid."
