Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the PCR test funding for NHS providers will be continued through the next phases of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indicative allocations for National Health Service testing in 2022/23 include polymerase chain reaction testing through diagnostics in hospital settings, in-hospital moves for the severely immunocompromised, outbreak testing in healthcare settings, discharged patients to care homes, maternity patients on admission and emergency admissions. All policies will remain subject to review.
