Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding has been allocated to the UK Rapid Antigen Test Consortium (a) centrally and (b) to each of its members.
The UK Rapid Test Consortium (UK-RTC) is not a Government organisation therefore the information requested on its creation and internal processes is not held centrally.
No funding has been allocated through the UK-RTC.
Members of the Consortium who have been awarded contracts have done so through compliant procurement processes unrelated to the UK-RTC.
