If he will hold discussions with the Scottish Government on steps to increase the number of people being tested for covid-19 in Scotland.
This question was answered on 9th September 2020
The UK Government continues to work with the Scottish Government and provide support where it is needed.
In addition to the six drive-in sites, and eighteen mobile units, the recently opened walk-in testing centre in St Andrews is also helping to provide significant support and resource for testing capacity in Scotland, in addition to NHS Scotland’s own capacity.
It is for the Scottish Government to decide policy for the use of that capacity.
