Hi Michelle,
I do now have confirmation that a member of our Closing team has been allocated to the deal with PPE Medpro (sorry I don’t have a name yet) and will be contacting them asap to discuss the detailed commercial terms for the Type IIR masks.
I have, however, been asked if you could provide a one-line statement to cover the lines we discussed so that we can document the declaration of no conflict. This will not in any way slow down progress.

Thanks for your email.
In relation to PPE Medpro Limited, I can confirm that I have no conflicts whatsoever in helping the company to achieve orders through the NHS.
I am neither a shareholder of the company nor am I entitled to any financial remuneration or financial benefit whatsoever. You can put this on the record.
My role is to help the NHS deliver on its PPE targets and to ultimately save lives of patients, medical workers and carers.

Thank you for this Michelle. […] Are you or Doug able to make any relevant statements relating to his involvement? I know his circumstances are different but am trying to ensure that everything is as transparent as possible.

This is for the record.
To clarify the position on Doug, he has made it clear from the outset that he has put the consortium together that constitutes PPE Medpro Ltd. Behind the scenes he has significantly negotiated down the prices available to the NHS on PPE from the company.
The end result is highly competitive pricing that ensures the NHS benefits from his years of experience in manufacturing, procurement and management of supply chains.
Doug is a very philanthropic individual and his Barrowman Foundation supports schools building in Africa and he recently built a large centre in Manchester for the Princes Trust.
He is passionate about the NHS and during the crisis has wanted to help the NHS. This he has done through the procurement of a plentiful supply of cost effective PPE.
I hope these statements help.
