To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, on what date he asked the Welsh Government for assistance in securing lateral flow covid-19 test kits for use in England.
This question was answered on 10th January 2022
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) procures lateral flow device (LFD) tests on behalf of the four United Kingdom nations, which are allocated according to the Barnett Formula. To ensure continuity of LFD tests at a time of unprecedented demand, the UKHSA requested a short-term loan from the devolved administrations on 14 December 2021.
