Question
Will the Minister outline the number of personal protective equipment items in storage as of 7 June 2021, by item?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
In line with the practice in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, we do not publish PPE stock information as it changes on a daily basis. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP) currently hold around 307m items of PPE. NWSSP hold a stockpile of over 24 weeks for each PPE item, the only exception is Nitrile Gloves where significant orders are pending. The number of PPE items which have been issued to the health and social care system in Wales can be found here - Personal protective equipment items issued | GOV.WALES
