The East Sussex NHS Trust said its supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) for hospital staff working on the front line of the coronavirus pandemic is ‘improving’ after concerns were raised by members of staff.

In recent days, workers at Conquest Hospital and Eastbourne District General Hospital (DGH) have expressed concern about the lack of equipment following problems nationally with the deliveries of supplies.

However, a spokesman for the East Sussex NHS Trust said a delivery of 30,000 surgical masks and 13,000 of the FFP3 respirator masks on March 26 has resulted in an improved situation.
