Health services - Extension of free PPE for health care providers in England announced
Health services news and updates. PPE will be available free of charge for primary care providers, NHS trusts, and adult social care providers until 31 March 2024.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has announced the extension of the provision of free personal protective equipment (PPE) for health and care staff in England for another year.
The announcement means that PPE will remain free and accessible for primary care providers, NHS trusts, and adult social care providers until 31 March 2024, or when stock is depleted, whichever comes first. The scheme had been due to close on 31 March this year.
A statement released earlier this week (10 January) said supporting frontline workers remains a priority for the Government. “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-19.”
