Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reasons Mildmay Road covid-19 testing centre in Ilford no longer accepts walk in appointments; and for what reasons the local authority was not informed prior to this change in service.

The Department’s policy is and has been that appointments should be made prior to visiting any test centre. These can be booked through GOV.UK, 119 or the NHS COVID-19 App.
