Obtaining personal protective equipment from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight stock

We have established a small reserve of personal protective equipment (PPE) for use by all agencies across the system including general practice.

When can you order from this stock?

This reserve is for those in critical need only.

For health and social care, PPE supply in the medium and long term will be via the national PPE supply chain, supported by Clipper Logistics, directly to the provider. This reserve is for when these supply chains fail.

You must only order from this stock if:

  • your stock levels are critically low;
  • you have attempted to order from your usual supplier;
  • you have escalated without resolution;
  • you are not expecting any deliveries in the near future.

Strict maximum order limits will be imposed to make sure the equipment is distributed fairly and in line with the above principles and therefore evidence that practices have explored the above options will be required.
