Protective equipment companies under fire for '1,000% price increase'

The Telegraph  

Companies have been accused of “daylight robbery” for hiking the price of crucial protective supplies such as face masks and sanitiser gels as high as 1,000%. Leading figures in the care sector have warned they faced ruin due to the spiralling cost of the pandemic, with providers hit by shortages of personal protective equipment. One of the country’s leading social care charities said the rising prices have come at a time providers are using twice the usual amount of PPE, including gloves, aprons and face masks. “Gloves, they are up by 30% in price, aprons, they are up by 166%, but most strikingly we’ve seen a typical price increase for a standard pack of masks go up by over 1,000%,” said Mark Adams, head of Community Integrated Care. The National Care Association, the voice of Britain’s independent care sector, told the Telegraph that access to PPE was “the most challenging of the issues facing social care providers”.
