We call on Boris Johnson, Prime Minister; and Matt Hancock, the Secretary of State for Health, to:
- Sort out insufficient laboratory capacity and get the system working, so everyone in Brighton & Hove with symptoms can get a test at a local location they can access by car or on foot, or at home;
- Ensure that all test results are returned within 24 hours;
- Take Serco, Deloitte and other failing private companies off the job and put properly funded local Health Protection Teams in charge of testing.
