Discussions about support measures during the pandemic and assurances regarding preparedness for winter months.
Can my hon. Friend confirm that every care home in England has either received a coronavirus test or is about to receive one?
Yes, I can confirm that. Every Care Quality Commission-registered care home in England has been offered testing. Care homes for those who are over 65 and with dementia have been offered repeat testing. We have now opened up repeat testing to care homes for working age adults.
