answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2020 answer text <p>The Government Office for Science and the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies currently and will continue to publish national and regional R rates on a regular basis. NHS Test and Trace are not planning to publish R rates at the local authority level. This is because estimates of R for geographies smaller than regional level are less reliable and it is more appropriate to identify local hotspots through, for example, monitoring rates of new cases and investigating outbreaks. The Joint Biosecurity Centre and Public Health England continue to closely monitor this local activity closely.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 04/09/2020 11:27:50 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately previous answer version 37330 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481
