UK Government Faces Backlash Over £1.4bn PPE Waste

Investigation reveals massive destruction and write-off of pandemic PPE from Full Support Healthcare

£1.4bn worth of PPE from a single supplier has been destroyed or written off.
Only 232 million of the 2.02 billion items supplied were used by the NHS.
The deal with Full Support Healthcare was the largest PPE order during the pandemic.
Politicians criticize the waste as a misuse of public funds that could have paid 37,000 nurses.
Additional public money has been spent on storing and incinerating the excess stock.
