"3. Are you expecting for tests be manufactured and supplies to be sourced in the
UK?
The Government is considering all options to help us grow our testing capacity for
COVID-19 including international tests and supplies. That said, there can be
logistical and supply chain challenges associated with importing tests and testing
supplies and we are certainly keen to source from within the UK where possible.
Looking further to the future, as set out in the National Testing Strategy, we do want
to work closely with British diagnostic companies, to build a resilient, diagnostic
capability in the UK capable of meeting the testing demands over the coming months
and years."
