Both the MHRA and the HRA have produced guidance on regulatory flexibilities available to clinical trial sponsors and proportionate approaches so that trials could be run as efficiently as possible.</p><p>In collaboration with trial sponsors and partners across the healthcare system a ‘lessons learned’ exercise will determine which initiatives in the emergency situation would be appropriate and sustainable in the ‘business as usual’ situation.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 14/07/2020 14:42:04 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 35095 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2020 answer text <p>NHS Test and Trace is a brand, new service which has been launched at incredible speed and scale and is already identifying thousands of contacts of positive cases and preventing transmission of the virus. We have recruited 27,000 contact tracing staff in England to support the Test and Trace service who have all been trained and are fully supported in their work by public health experts.</p><p>We are working hard to identify and follow up with the contacts of all people who have a positive test result. Over 132,000 potential contacts have now been reached and asked to self-isolate.</p><p>With rates of infection relatively low it is entirely right that some call handlers have spare capacity. As restrictions lift and people return to a more normal way of life, the role of contact tracers and social distancing measures will be even more vital.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 14/07/2020 14:37:09 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
