Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of covid-19 tests are void, unclear, spoiled or lost (a) by region and (b) in total.
We do not currently publish figures on the proportion of tests that are void, unclear, spoiled or lost. We are working with officials in the testing programme to validate the data and to present it in a form that is suitable for publication.
