When will new supplies of PPE be delivered?

The Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden on delays to new protective equipment for NHS staff.

There is "relatively low confidence" a delayed delivery of 400,000 protective gowns will arrive on Monday, a senior NHS figure has said. The consignment had been expected to arrive from Turkey on Sunday. Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, told the 大象传媒 there was "no doubt" some hospital trusts already had shortages of the gowns, which protect those treating coronavirus patients.
