Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many tests for covid-19 undertaken at home have been processed since the start of the outbreak of that disease.

Home testing has been expanded over several weeks from the initial piloting phase, through to the large-scale ramp up where thousands of home tests are available on a daily basis. As at 8 May 2020, over 134,000 home tests have been dispatched and more than 105,000 completed samples have been collected and this number increases daily.
