Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what additional resources his Department plans to provide to local authorities to support the test, track and trace programme during the covid-19 outbreak.
This question was answered on 5th June 2020
We have agreed £300 million worth of new dedicated funding to support local authorities with implementing Test and Trace and local outbreak plans.
This money will be allocated shortly following standard procedures.
Alongside financial contributions, the NHS Test and Trace service is developing comprehensive guidance to assist local authorities in developing their own COVID-19 outbreak plans.
