Provide WHO recommended PPE for all NHS and FRONT LINE/ KEY WORKERS.
I want the government to provide WHO recommended PPE to ALL staff coming into contact with Covid19 positive and suspected patients and NOT the substandard PPE that PHE have decided with no clear clinical evidence is suitable.
PHE making up your own rules and advice without providing clear evidence is tantamount to manslaughter. You are putting front line workers at risk and ALL the evidence suggests that. There is NO evidence to suggest down grading PPE is the way to protect patients, staff and the wider public.
