Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many applications to access to the National Testing Programme dashboard were granted for each local authority on each day since 8 June 2020.

Since June, we have been working with Public Health England and the Joint Biosecurity Centre to provide local authorities with easy-to-use dashboard of testing and triage data. This can be used to monitor their area for flare-ups of the disease so that they can make critical decisions in their areas.

Public Health England started providing individual-level, test data on the 24 June enabled through a data sharing agreement with Directors of Public Health.

Since 10 June all local authorities have access to their data and the number of local authorities requesting access to the dashboard so far is 1,199 and the number granted is 1,130.
