uin	HL10351
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2020 answer text <p>Due to their remote geographical area, home testing kits are not available in some areas. The home test service relies on Royal Mail's 24 hour guarantee priority post-boxes to ensure tests are returned to the laboratory in a suitable timeframe. Some remote areas in the Scottish Isles have had access to a dedicated testing service set up specifically that enables people to access tests through hospitals without being admitted as a patient. This has been rolled out to the areas of most acute need across the Islands first and is being expanded to provide testing across the Highlands. Residents can also access testing via the nearest regional test site, walk in test site or mobile testing unit.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 17/12/2020 16:58:08 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2020 answer text <p>The <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/asp/2018/9/contents/enacted" target="_blank">Social Security (Scotland) Act 2018</a> is an Act of the Scottish Parliament and established a high-level enabling framework for social security in Scotland. This followed the devolution of certain aspects of the social security to the Scottish Government under the Scotland Act 2016. Its provisions are the responsibility of the Scottish Government, and it is not for the UK Government to make an assessment of matters which are devolved.</p><p>However, the UK Government is working closely with the Scottish Government to ensure a safe and secure transition to the new benefits being introduced, which will replace Personal Independence Payment, Attendance Allowance, Carer’s Allowance, Disability Living Allowance, Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit, Cold Weather Payments and Winter Fuel Payments. Severe Disablement Allowance will also become a matter for the Scottish Government. Sure Start maternity grants and funeral expense payments have already been replaced with Scottish provision. The Act also provides for completely new benefits with no equivalent in England and Wales. The Scottish benefits will be delivered by Social Security Scotland.</p> answering member printed Baroness Stedman-Scott question first answered 17/03/2020 14:36:13 answering member 4174 label Biography information for Baroness Stedman-Scott
