Dear colleagues,
We know there are many questions around PPE including worries about supply. As you will have seen in the letter from Simon Stevens earlier this week (https://www.england.nhs.uk/coronavirus/wp-content/uploads/sites/52/2020/03/20200317-NHS-COVID-letter-FINAL.pdf), there is now a dedicated telephone line and email you can call for PPE queries: 0800 915 9964 / 0191 283 6543 / Email: supplydisruptionservice@nhsbsa.nhs.uk.
This is a nationally operated line and email, but if you experience any issues please do let us know so that we can escalate on your behalf.
The full text, which can be found on page 3 of the letter, is provided below for convenience:
“In respect of PPE, the DHSC procurement team reports that nationally there is currently adequate national supply in line with PHE recommended usage, and the pandemic influenza stockpile has now been released to us. However locally distribution issues are being reported. Michael Wilson, chief executive of SASH, is now helping resolve this on behalf of the NHS. In addition if you experience problems there is now a dedicated line for you: 0800 915 9964 / 0191 283 6543 / Email: supplydisruptionservice@nhsbsa.nhs.uk.”
Many thanks
