Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to prevent the double-counting of covid-19 tests.

Answer

The Department has moved to split out the recording of numbers of tests sent out and the recording of numbers of tests processed in our laboratories. This has made double-counting very unlikely.
