answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2020 answer text <p>For the purposes of diagnosing COVID-19, we are using Polymerase Chain Reaction tests that involve a nasopharyngeal swab sample taken from the back of the nose and throat, searching for virus DNA in the sample.</p><p>Tests that do not reach far enough back or swab just the nose or throat alone are likely to be less effective as there is a lower likelihood of collecting the virus in the sample material. For this reason, we recommend both clinician-administered and self-administered tests available for home testing swab both the nose and throat. This will count as a single test.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 07/09/2020 13:26:52 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2020 answer text <p>With the support of NHS England, we have been piloting COVID-19 swab testing in a small number of general practices around the United Kingdom. The aim was to improve access to testing by enabling general practitioners to test symptomatic patients who present to general practice settings, when deemed it clinically appropriate, for example for some patients who are vulnerable and may otherwise struggle to access a test through the main testing routes.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 18/11/2020 14:41:04 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell
