(asked on 3rd December 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that care homes that have not been given free supplies of covid-19 testing kits can acquire sufficient numbers of kits to enable visits to take place.
This question was answered on 26th February 2021
All Care Quality Commission-registered adult care homes are receiving lateral flow device (LFD) test kits to enable safe visits, where permitted. We have processed the delivery of the second order of LFD kits to care homes at the end of January 2021. If any care homes have not received their delivery or are not able to reorder, they should contact 119.
