answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>HMRC had c.7,000 permanent staff by 1 January to support delivery of post-transition requirements, sourced through both redeployment and external recruitment. The post-transition roles comprise specialist and non-specialist, and operational and support, roles. Not all roles require additional training and HMRC do not track their training requirements against all 7,000 staff. HMRC are therefore unable to provide a breakdown of training time across the full permanent complement without incurring significant additional costs. Newly recruited operational staff will have received five weeks of training, including induction.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 11/01/2021 13:48:50 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/09/2020 answer text <p>Unless an individual has been specifically asked to do so by a clinician, it is vital that only those who have developed symptoms of COVID-19 get tested. The NHS Test and Trace system must stay focused on testing those with symptoms of COVID-19. The test is most effective for those who are experiencing symptoms.</p><p>Anyone who is self isolating as a result of being a close contact of a confirmed case but does not have symptoms should not request a test. This includes if that case was identified in school or college.</p><p>The latest clinical advice is that testing of individuals without symptoms should only be used where clinically appropriate, predominantly for outbreak investigation and infection control. This risk based approach ensures that testing is targeted where it is most effective.</p><p>All children, young people and staff have access to a test if they display symptoms of COVID-19 and should get tested in this scenario.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 23/09/2020 16:26:08 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
