The Health Secretary has faced criticism after saying that there was “never” a national shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Matt Hancock said it was difficult to deliver PPE “in the teeth of a pandemic”, when addressing a High Court ruling over failings in publishing details of coronavirus-related contracts.
But he said that thanks to his team, there was “never a national shortage”.
Labour said it was an “insult” to claim there was no shortage of the equipment medics need to help prevent them from being infected with the virus.
These words on @BBCRadio4 from @MattHancock are categorically not true.
