<p>The Government recognise concerns about the use of personal protective equipment
(PPE), particularly face masks when it comes to people who are deaf or have hearing
loss. The United Kingdom’s Government’s national PPE procurement team has been working
extremely hard to source clear facemasks which comply with UK safety standards and
have procured stocks of clear masks into health and social care settings, to support
those who need to lip read. Distribution solutions for these are currently being confirmed.
Our priority remains saving lives, including those frontline staff who need to wear
PPE as they go about their vital work.</p>
