<p>The Government is facing considerable criticism over shortages of the equipment needed to keep staff safe on the frontline as they care for Covid-19 patients.</p>
<p>Downing Street said that Boris Johnson used his first meeting of the Covid-19 war Cabinet since his recovery from coronavirus to focus on the need to secure PPE supplies.</p>
<p>It comes after the nation fell silent for a minute on <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://londonglossy.com/boris-johnson-to-lead-uk-in-minutes-silence-for-fallen-nhs-workers/">Tuesday morning</a></span> to remember key workers who have lost their lives after being diagnosed with Covid-19.</p>
<p>And the death toll among frontline health and care workers surpassed 100, according to figures from the PA news agency.</p>

<p>Mr Johnson&#8217;s official spokesman said that PPE was the issue he focused on at the meeting on Monday morning.</p>
<p>The Government defended its record on PPE, following a critical BBC Panorama investigation, with the PM’s spokesman saying <em>“we have been working to secure gowns and other PPE from across the globe – and domestically – for a number of months”</em>.</p>
<p>Some 12 million items of PPE were delivered on Monday to 227 trusts and care settings, including gloves, aprons, three different types of masks, eye protectors and gowns.</p>
<p>Earlier, Labour leader Keir Starmer said <em>“too many”</em> frontline workers have died during the fight against coronavirus <em>“and we owe them a huge debt”</em>.</p>
