Answer
It currently costs approximately £200,000 per week, the equivalent to £850,000 for November 2024, to store personal protective equipment unsuitable for National Health Service use. The figure is dynamic because the stock is reducing.
A programme of work is underway to reduce our excess stock. This work will significantly reduce the cost of our storage network, and is due to be complete by January 2025, through sales, donations, recycling, and energy from waste.
