Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make available to local councils summary data on the number of positive results for covid-19 in each care home.
Public Health England is providing Directors of Public Health with fully identifiable positive test data, updated daily, that has a ‘linked to care home’ flag. This allows the Director of Public Health to know when there is a link between the positive test and a care home.
