Health Secretary Sajid Javid has ordered the NHS to stop using Russian and Belarussian suppliers.
Almost two weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine, the Health Secretary told NHS providers to exit contracts that involved the two nations "as soon as possible".
In a letter to NHS providers seen by the Health Service Journal, Mr Javid told them to "undertake an urgent review of supply chains and identify contractual relationships you have with Russian and Belarussian suppliers."
