Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the average daily cost is of a consultant employed to support NHS Test and Trace; and how many consultants were employed to support NHS Test and Trace on 1 September 2021.
As of 1 September 2021, there were 1,707 consultants in NHS Test and Trace.
We are unable to provide information on the average cost of consultants as this is commercially sensitive.
