Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of results of the survey conducted by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and the Doctor’s Association UK, published on 7 May, which found that 83.6 per cent of those doctors surveyed had not been tested for COVID-19 since the pandemic began; and what steps they are taking to increase testing specifically for front line NHS staff.
