However, Sturgeon appeared to take the story seriously and said hours later: “It is not an exaggeration to say that we are extremely concerned about these reports, and are taking steps to investigate them further, and to seek to resolve them if they are real issues, as a matter of urgency.”
Her comments triggered a political row and led to an unequivocal denial by Downing Street that any instruction had gone out to prioritise one part of the UK over another.
Sturgeon later said she accepted the assurances provided by the UK Government.
In an interview this morning, Leitch said: “I think I should first of all say sorry for my part in confusion on Tuesday morning. I over spoke a little and should have been more circumspect in my response to you."
He added: “In turns out that Public Health England and the Department of Health havn’t given instructions to companies not to provide PPE to Scottish providers.”
Put to him that the Gompels issue had been about supplies procured previously by Public Health England and which were for care homes in England, he replied: “That appears to be where the confusion arose.”
Meanwhile, Leitch also said Scotland could take a different approach to the rest of the UK on easing lockdown measures if it is in the country's best interests.
UK Government ministers are expected to announce today that the lockdown will be extended for another three weeks, amid signs the epidemic is beginning to peak.
Leitch said both he, the First Minister and others agree Scotland is not yet in a position for authorities to recommend the lockdown should be lifted.
He said once restrictions ease there may be differences across the UK as it is "important to do what applies in your context", though there are not likely to be "massive differences" in the approaches of each of the four nations.
A total of 699 coronavirus patients have died in Scotland, while 6,748 people have now tested positive for the virus, according to Health Protection Scotland figures.

Pay scandal call centre AGO Outsourcing has been awarded a contract to offer shielding support to SERCO workers in England .
The company is being sub-contracted by the UK Government through the DWP to help contact people down south who should be protecting themselves in the face of the coronavirus pandemic .
The news comes as a survey this week revealed over a third of call centre workers were still being required to work , despite the SNP saying many call centre workers are “ not essential ” .
AGO chief executive Kris McGenily told us : “ Our contact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ We temporarily furloughed some employees , but when the workload increased these people were reinstated .
“ Nobody has been made redundant – we have actually employed an additional 150 people and have a requirement for another 100.
” Mr McGenily said those still working are “ designated key workers ” .
The East Kilbride News has been contacted by around 40 members of staff complaining about AGO , with the majority concerned about outstanding payment , pensions and tax deductions .
Many staff claim they are still owed thousands of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contract until now had been Scottish Power .
But Mr McGenily – who , along with fellow director Stephen Rafferty , laid off 20 members of staff just weeks before Christmas via email – denies the claims .
Worryingly , a number of staff have told us that HMRC have no tax payments from them for the duration of their contract with AGO .
One such former worker said : “ HMRC told me there ’ s no record of me working for AGO.
” A pension scheme was also only set up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked about why one was not in place .
Another worker affected told us : “ It ’ s a complete shambles – they don ’ t have a clue.
” A report this week said employers are not implementing social distancing , with the SNP calling for call centres to assess their working conditions .
Mr McGenily said 25 per cent of his workforce were working from home , with head-height partitions installed between every desk at the office , and increased cleaning throughout the day .
Despite that , a picture @ @ @ @ @ @ @ working in close quarters .
He and Mr Rafferty have also taken to social media to ‘ beg ’ for more hand sanitiser and head sets .

He was initially told by his GP that his symptoms sounded flu-like and that he was to stay home and take paracetamol.
But after 12 days, paramedics took him into hospital because his wife Jennifer was undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
Within hours of arriving at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Stewart was ventilated and moved to intensive care.
He fought for his life and spent 13 days in ICU.
Stewart said: “I can’t remember getting taken in - everything was just surreal and I was hallucinating. The intensive care unit and all the staff saved my life.
"It’s so scary because when I phoned my doctor I knew I wasn’t well and if I hadn’t phoned the ambulance that day, I know from what the doctors told me, that I wouldn’t be here.
