These are repurposed bin bags. They have just been sent to a GP practice as official PPE.
Thank you, @drTeaLady for sharing.
@MattHancock please can you explain as a matter of urgency why, in the midst of the Covid second wave, NHS staff are being issued with bin bags?

This matters as staff are at v high risk of infection when removing PPE. We minimising the risks by breaking the thin neck straps of proper PPE aprons, ensuring we avoid lifting & smearing dirty plastic over our heads.
But how exactly do you do this with a bin bag, @MattHancock?
