Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services – in the Senedd at 2:06 pm on 2 December 2020.
I issued a statement last week making very clear that we have procured PPE successfully and in accordance with the rules and with proper propriety. There are obvious questions—not from left-leaning publications, but from 'The Times' and others, and those will need to be answered. I fully expect that not just the National Audit Office report for England will have further attention paid to it, but more people, I think, will welcome the reassurance I can give that there are no dodgy deals when it comes to PPE in Wales, and I'm very, very proud of the way that team Wales—in particular our shared-services team—have gone about procuring successfully and in a completely transparent way PPE to service the needs of our front-line health and social care staff.
