Lord Bethell
My Lords, there was some interruption in hearing my noble friend’s question but, if I understood him correctly, the answer is that all patients are now tested on entry to hospital. Until their test result has arrived, they are treated as though they have Covid-19 and isolated wherever possible.
Baroness Barker (LD)
How will the Government enable hospitals to work on a regional basis, co-operatively, to optimise the use of surgical and radiological resources?
Lord Bethell
I am afraid that at the moment, I cannot give a precise and thorough answer to the perceptive and very detailed question asked by the noble Baroness, but I will be glad to.
