Government free PPE supplies: Provided until 31st March 2024 

Adult social care providers should already be aware of the update made in December to the  IPC guidance around PPE. Although there is now a reduced need for PPE in some circumstances, it is still very much required in others.  

To support the safe use of PPE, the government have extended their offer of free PPE supplies to the adult social care sector until the 31st of March 2024, or until stocks run out.
