Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that care home staff are able to obtain a QR code to attend walk-in testing facilities.

All social care staff are considered essential workers and prioritised for COVID-19 testing. Those who have booked an appointment at a testing site will receive a test. Sites can use other information to confirm an appointment if a QR code cannot be provided.
