Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to increase the number of pharmacies which are signed up to the Pharmacy Collect scheme in (a) Wakefield and (b) West Yorkshire.
As of 18 May 2021, 68 pharmacies have opted in to provide the service in Wakefield. We do not hold this data for West Yorkshire as a region. Nine in 10 pharmacies across England are currently registered to offer lateral flow tests and there are no current plans to increase the numbers further across West Yorkshire.
