Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether his Department has plans to use the NHS Test and Trace database system.
NHS Test and Trace data is used by the Department for Education to routinely monitor and report to Ministers on the take-up of COVID-19 testing in schools and colleges, and to support operational delivery. For example, the Department has used the data to proactively identify schools that required additional support to report test results for their setting during the initial on-site testing phase of the programme.
