Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish (a) the personal specifications outlining the (i) qualifications and (ii) experience requirements for consultants applying to work on the NHS Test and Trace programme and (b) data on the average daily pay rate of the consultants employed by each of those firms so deploying consultants on that programme.

We do not have a personal specification for consultants. The suppliers contracted to deliver the services that meet our business requirements are responsible for ensuring that the consultants hold the necessary qualifications, skills and experience. The pay rates of individual consultants engaged from each supplier is commercially sensitive.
