Government to implement WHO guidelines on issuing PPE to the NHS & Care Sector.
Government must listen to and immediately adopt the advice of the WHO and urgently purchase and distribute to front line staff in the NHS and care sectors PPE of the highest quality namely: goggles and mask or face shield, long gloves, gown or coverall, head cover, rubber boots.
Without this appropriate equipment the Government is wilfully putting at risk the health and welfare of these irreplaceable members of our Society, and misleading the Country as to their actual response in this time of national emergency.
