(asked on 15th May 2020) - View Source
Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, how much funding for covid-19 testing has been allocated from the public purse to Scotland.
This question was answered on 26th May 2020
Funding for Covid-19 testing is UK-wide. This means Devolved Administrations do not receive a Barnett Consequential on this expenditure, but receive a share of the testing equipment that DHSC procure for the UK. At present, DHSC are providing five testing sites and thirteen mobile testing units in Scotland, which complement the testing activities of NHS Scotland.
