Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the processes in place to ensure that providers of covid-19 travel tests meet the targets they advertise for processing tests.

We have made no specific assessment.

The Department monitors all providers’ performance, including test turnaround times and those providing inadequate services receive a five-day warning to demonstrate they have rectified their service or they are removed from the list of providers on GOV.UK.
