Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the purpose is of the UK Rapid Antigen Test Consortium; and on what date that consortium was founded.
The UK Rapid Test Consortium (UK-RTC) is not a Government organisation therefore the information requested on its creation and internal processes is not held centrally.
No funding has been allocated through the UK-RTC.
Members of the Consortium who have been awarded contracts have done so through compliant procurement processes unrelated to the UK-RTC.
