uin	115890
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2022 answer text <p>There is no accreditation process which applies to the businesses supplying COVID-9 lateral flow device (LFD) tests to the National Health Service. However, COVID-19 tests must have either a CE-mark or UKCA mark and either approved under the Medical Devices (Coronavirus Test Device Approvals) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 or listed on one of the temporary protocols. Where the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) or the devolved administrations procure LFD tests on behalf of the NHS, Coronavirus Test Device Approval is not required. However, the UKHSA evaluates these tests in a laboratory to ensure they display performance characteristics desirable for population testing. This evaluation is performed in advance of any procurement.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 21/04/2022 14:40:52 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup previous answer version 49113 answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup
