This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

HM Treasury has approved over £15 billion for PPE procurement to protect frontline staff, but not all of this money has yet been spent. You could start a petition calling for a public inquiry into Government spending on PPE, in light of the allocation of these funds, if that is what you want to happen.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Investigate NHS Supply Chain performance providing PPE to frontline staff: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/312054
