Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has plans to make funding available to clinical research organisations who are able to offer free covid-19 tests to their local community.

Anyone in the United Kingdom who has COVID-19 symptoms can get a free test from NHS Test and Trace. The Government is working in partnership with industry, academia, the National Health Service and many others to double our testing capacity, protect local communities and save lives.

Anyone who needs a COVID-19 test can get one at the following link:
