Tom Hayhoe's investigation aims to scrutinize £8.7 billion worth of PPE purchased during the pandemic, addressing fraud and underperformance that led to significant taxpayer losses.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves is committed to recovering public money lost to fraud and stressed that those profiting from the pandemic must be held accountable for their actions.
Three-quarters of the £12 billion spent on PPE was wasted due to overpriced contracts and subpar equipment, leading to a significant economic burden on public services.
Prominent government contracts were awarded through a 'VIP lane' to companies like PPE Medpro, which has faced scrutiny and allegations of impropriety during the procurement process.
