Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the turnaround time for covid-19 test results is dependent on which area of the country the test is taken.
We have rapidly expanded our testing capability and anyone with symptoms can now get a test. Testing turnaround times have significantly improved over the last few months. While there are currently some small delays due to increased demand, the vast majority of results for tests taken in person at drive through, walk through and mobile testing units are still delivered the day after the test was taken.
