CAMPAIGNERS have expressed “outrage” over a refusal by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to reveal who was paid billions of pounds in NHS cash for useless or non-existent personal protection equipment (PPE) during the Covid-19 pandemic.
They have launched an online open letter to Health Secretary Wes Streeting after the DHSC rejected a freedom of information (FOI) request into “dodgy PPE contracts” handed out by the Tories during the Covid crisis.
The government department rejected campaign group Organise’s request on the grounds of “commercial interests.”
