A firm at the centre of a major row over a Covid PPE deal is being sued by the government for more than £122million.
The Department for Health and Social Care has issued breach of contract proceedings against PPE Medpro over a 2020 deal to supply sterile gowns.
The firm said the case will be "rigorously defended" and accused the government of a "cynical attempt to recover money from suppliers" who acted in good faith.
