- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he will set out plans on the closure of NHS Test and Trace; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
The full range of responsibilities delivered by NHS Test and Trace are being transferred into the United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKSHA). As NHS Test and Trace transfers into UKHSA, we are planning against a range of scenarios for the trajectory of the pandemic and assessing the appropriate test, trace and self-isolation response. We anticipate testing, tracing and self-isolation requirements to reduce as prevalence reduces. The UKHSA will be fully functional by 1 October.
