Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how much money they have allocated to Sheffield City Council to support the local NHS Test and Trace scheme.

Sheffield City Council received £3,101,989.00 under the £300 million allocated to local authorities to develop and implement action plans, tailored outbreak control plans and working with local National Health Service and other stakeholders to reduce the spread of coronavirus in their area. Following the additional £465 million that was made available by the Government to support all local authorities, they have this week been sent a further £4,678,824.00 to support them as they moved into local Covid alert level 3. This money will clear with Sheffield in the next three to five working days.
