Homecare Association response: Extending free PPE to the health and care sector

The Homecare Association's response to the Department of Health and Social Care's consultation about extending free PPE to the health and care sector is available below. 

The Homecare Association supports the continuation of the PPE Portal for a further year. Our most significant concern is that the closure of the Portal would mean that providers may have difficulties funding the additional PPE that they require for COVID-19 related infection control.
