Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish the guidance issued to general practitioners recruited to the covid-19 Clinical Assessment Service in August 2020.

General practitioners (GPs) in the COVID-19 Clinical Assessment Service (CCAS) access a number of guidance resources which are published online, including the relevant pages at NHS.UK and GOV.UK.

GPs also access guidance via the NHS Pathways system and the NHS Futures Forum with ongoing professional and clinical discussions for support from within the service. The CCAS is administered by South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust. The Trust has advised that this guidance is commercially sensitive as a result of the competitive process to award contracts to individuals or service providers to deliver the CCAS.
