Campaign urges appeal of PPE Medpro payout to NHS

newsApr 30, 2026412

Labour MP Wes Streeting has launched a petition asking the Treasury and the Department of Health to appeal a payout to PPE Medpro after the company was accused of defrauding the NHS during the COVID-19 pandemic. The petition demands that any awarded funds be returned to the NHS and urges ministers to act immediately to block release of the payment. Campaigners describe the payment as proceeds from pandemic-era procurement abuses and call for legal action to reclaim taxpayer money. If ministers appeal and win, recovered funds would return to frontline services and create a precedent for reclaiming NHS money tied to questionable COVID contracts.
