Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to ensure that there are city centre satelite testing facilities in York for health and care staff who cannot drive to the testing facility at the park and ride located outside the city centre.

We have introduced satellite sites as both to expand overall test capacity and to provide a more agile and flexible method to complement the fixed regional testing centres. For those without access to their own vehicle, home testing enables people to get tested for COVID-19 without leaving their home.
