Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the supply of covid-19 lateral flow testing kits; and what steps his Department is taking to ensure that there are sufficient covid-19 tests available to meet increased demand in the Weaver Vale constituency.

The UK Health Security Agency has increased both the supply of tests and distribution capability. We have delivered seven million tests a day through GOV.UK and 90 million tests a week in the United Kingdom through all delivery channels.
