WQ.146/2020
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY J.H. PERCHARD OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 21st APRIL 2020
Question
Will the Minister advise –
- how many gowns the States currently has;
- how many gowns it is projected will be needed; and
- from where, and when, additional gowns will be obtained?
Answer
- At the time of responding to this question there were 32,992 gowns in stock.
- Current usage is, on average, 621 a day, with peak usage (should that peak occur) estimated to be around 3,000.
- Gowns form part of the core PPE requirement and therefore gowns are a standing requirement with regular orders of PPE. Orders are made through a number of supply chains, including the NHS supply chain coordinated in the UK.
