Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what community diagnostic centre locations have opened since October 2021; what was the (a) date on which each community diagnostic centre began operating, (b) number of diagnostics tests each location carried out per month since it opened and (c) number of diagnostic tests each centre's host trust carried out each month since the location opened; how many diagnostic tests each centre's host trust carried out in each month of 2019; and how much capital funding each community diagnostic centre location has received.

The information requested is shown in the attached table.

Tab 1 shows community diagnostic centre (CDC) start dates and activity per month from October 2021 to November 2022.

Tab 2 shows all diagnostic test activity for each CDC’s home trust.

Tab 3 shows capital funding awarded for each CDC in 2021/22.

Tab 4 shows capital funding awarded for each CDC in 2022/23.

There are 100 CDCs currently operational that have delivered over 3.5 million additional tests as of March 2023 (including large, standard and hub models).

Investment in up to 160 CDCs will deliver up to 17 million tests by March 2025, having added the capacity for nine million more per year once they are all fully operational.
