answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2020 answer text <p>The Government has put in place the largest network of diagnostic testing facilities created in British history. We do not publish testing data in the format requested, however our laboratories are processing more than 1 million tests a week and we recently announced new facilities and technology to process results even faster and to ensure capacity. We have developed capacity to almost 350,000 swab tests a day and we are scaling this capacity up to 500,000 tests a day by the end of October. The median distance to in-person testing sites for booked tests has now decreased to 3.3 miles and 90% of people who book a test at a test centre live 14.8 miles or less away. For week commencing 10 October 67.9% of test results were received the day after the test was taken an increase from 60.8% the previous week.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 02/11/2020 15:47:58 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately previous answer version 47040 answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
