Sally Ann Hart (Hastings & Rye MP) Easter Day & Easter Monday PPE (Personal Protection Equipment -not Philosophy Politics and Economics -which was what Boris Johnson & I understood by PPE at Oxford!)

Dear Sally-Ann

As your running colleague in the last general election, standing up for common sense when you were being misheard and misrepresented*, you are the most influential person to whom I can send this tweet:

which says:

Out of the 750,000 #NHSVolunteerResponders in this #Coronavirusuk situation, do we yet have an #ArmyOfPPECleaners-for if #Nurses & #Doctors #refusetreatment on account of #PPE #Shortage it’s surely at least 60% (guestimate) on account of non #reusing? 

Please act on it with all the responsibility you can muster and hold,

With the kindness you kindly acknowledged at the electoral count,

Paul

Dear Paul, 

I remember well – and thank you for contacting me. 

I am aware that much PPE can be reused including eye protection, scrubs and N95 respirators. Healthcare professionals are taught how to clean these properly using well established hygienic measures. 

I am also aware that we are going to needs countless supplies of PPE and if we can successfully decontaminate PPE for healthcare workers on the frontline, it might help with ongoing supply issues, should this become a burning problem. 

I will pass on your suggestions to the Health and Social Care department.  

I hope you had a happy Easter despite the circumstances we all find ourselves in. 

Kind regards, 

Sally-Ann
