Planned to process 300,000 tests a day, the Rosalind Franklin laboratory is handling just 30,000 a day. I
understand that some scientists working there are being paid for five days but working just one day a week. Given that the lab cost £1.1 billion, almost twice the original budget, what does this say about the Minister’s oversight of the programme?

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to reduce the reliance and expenditure on consultants in providing NHS Track and Trace.
The UK Health Security Agency produced a workforce strategy in July 2021 detailing plans to reduce the use of consultancy services and increase the proportion of civil servants employed by the organisation. Reducing the number of management consultants is balanced with the delivery of national priorities, ensuring the sustainable handover of critical knowledge and managing recruitment into highly skilled roles. In 2021/22, reductions in the number of consultants has produced a saving of £100 million.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much (a) has been spent in 2020-21 and (b) is projected to be spent in 2021-22 on consultancy fees for NHS Track and Trace.
The 2020/21 NHS Test & Trace total budget was £22 billion. The Departmentâs annual report and accounts 2020-21 reported an actual of £13.5 billion for this period. The 2020-21 NHS Test & Trace budget for consultancy was £460 million. The interim and unaudited financial position indicates that actual expenditure for this period was approximately £195 million. NHS Test & Trace operated in an environment of high uncertainty, where demand for testing and tracing was affected by new variants, case numbers and policy decisions such as national lockdowns. As a result, monthly spending fluctuated throughout the year. A breakdown of NHS Test & Trace audited expenditure for 2020-21 is intended for future publication.
The NHS Test & Trace Programme has been allocated £15 billion in 2021-22, spend figures will be published as part of the annual accounts at the end of the financial year. Future spend in this area will be in line with demand.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he is aware of problems with the 119 helpline to resolve covid-19 vaccine data inaccuracies; and what steps he is taking to help people whose data is incorrect.
We are not aware of any specific issues. If an individual believes that their COVID-19 vaccine data is inaccurate, this can be resolved with the Vaccination Data Resolution Service (VDRS) via 119. The VDRS will contact the individual within 21 days. Where vaccine data does not appear on records in England, this will not prevent people from receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Individuals affected can attend a walk-in site for either their booster or primary course of vaccination.
