PPE firm linked to Michelle Mone misses deadline to repay £122m

PPE firm linked to Michelle Mone misses deadline to repay £122m

PPE Medpro, a company associated with former Conservative peer Michelle Mone, has failed to repay the £122 million it was ordered to return to the UK government for supplying unusable surgical gowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a high court judgment, Mrs Justice Cockerill ruled that PPE Medpro must return the funds paid by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) for the 25 million sterile surgical gowns under a contract awarded in June 2020. The deadline for the repayment was set at 4 pm on October 15th, but PPE Medpro did not make the payment as ordered. The case highlights the government's efforts to recover funds spent on faulty personal protective equipment during the pandemic. The failure of PPE Medpro to comply with the court's ruling raises questions about accountability and the use of public funds for COVID-19 procurement.
