Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to improve access to COVID-19 testing for key workers.

Anyone with symptoms can now get a test, regardless of whether they are an essential worker. Essential workers still have a dedicated access route through the essential worker self-referral portal and are able to access testing through multiple channels such as regional test sites, home testing, mobile testing units, and through the care home portal if they are care home members of staff.
