The government was operating an illegal “buy British” policy when it signed untendered deals worth up to £80m with a UK firm to supply Covid antibody tests, when others were in a better position to do so, claim lawyers who have filed a case against the health secretary, Matt Han****. The government was determined to get a British test after the fiasco of buying 3.5m Chinese antibody tests and ordering a further 17.5m, none of which were good enough. Abingdon Health claimed its finger-prick antibody test was 99% accurate. But a peer-reviewed Public Health England (PHE) evaluation showed real-world accuracy of less than 85%. The Good Law Project is alleging the deal was illegally influenced by nationalism. Abingdon Health and the health department were approached for comment.

Geneva (Reuters) - Global demand for COVID-19 testing devices is expected to outstrip supply for a long time, Roche Chief Executive Severin Schwan said on Tuesday.

“We still have little information about duration and efficacy of vaccines (...) So diagnostics will remain very important, not only for the months to come but the years to come,” Schwan said in a briefing of the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA).
