- Information Requested
I'm looking for information about covid PPE supplies that were delivered to each Ambulance station from the 01/03/2020 to 01/04/2020. I am aware that the covid hub recorded dates of all PPE supplies and when the PPE items were sent out to individual stations. The stations then recorded the dates of arrival and what they received with each delivery. The station that I am interested in is Dalkeith.
