Investigate NHS Supply Chain performance providing PPE to frontline staff.

Closed 1,121 signatures

What the petition asks

The ability of NHS Supply Chain to provide PPE to frontline staff needs to be investigated. The apparent lack of timely and adequate supply of PPE during the current Pandemic appears to show that NHS Supply Chain has failed in its primary task.
The apparent failures by NHS Supply Chain have come at the same time it has been nominated for a GO award for public procurement excellence: https://www.supplychain.nhs.uk/news-article/nhs-supply-chain-shortlisted-for-uk-national-go-award/

The Government should review how NHS Supply Chain operates, following an investigation of its performance in providing PPE to frontline staff.
