Updates: UK logs in 24 hours; More people want hospital care Hancock says the shortage of checks will take weeks to fix
In his previous reaction to Hancock, Jonathan Ashworth, the shadow health secretary, asked why the government does not make plans to increase infections.
When schools reopen and others return to their workplaces and social distance becomes more difficult, infections increase.
So a new call to the formula is inevitable, so why didn’t you use summer to particularly develop the capacity of the NHS lab and the right touch search?
Tim Loughton, a conservative, says he receives reports that young people are expelled from school if they sniff and that the tests have not reached a record in their driving.
Hancock says that when schools return, young people have a general cold, which helps increase demand.
On the moonshot government’s plan, Hancock says there are no plans to make 10 million checks a day, but the government verifies the millions.
(This is misleading. Whether it is an official target or not, the figure of 10 million tests consistent with the day is obviously indicated in the official documents was leaked on the assignment reported through The Guardian).
Labor’s Stephanie Peacock asks if Hancock will do it with a Barnsley voter who didn’t pass a test.
Hancock says more than six hundred people in Barnsley took a check yesterday. He’s asking Peacock to provide the main points of the case.
Stephen Crabb, a conservative, questions the rule of six: wouldn’t it be better to have a rule for the UK total?
Hancock says the government still considers the youth factor, but they were included to keep the rule simple.
More than Matt Hancock in The Commons
This is what Hancock said in his opening about the desire to prioritize other people for testing.
We’ve noticed a significant increase in the number of other people taking a test, adding those who aren’t eligible.
And for this pandemic, we have prioritized testing as needed. During the summer, when the call was low, we were able to meet all the test requirements, whether they were precedence or not.
But as demand has increased, we want to re-prioritize and I am not re-settling prioritization decisions. They’re not comfortable, but they’re important.
The most sensible precedence is, and has been, acute clinical care.
The next precedence is social protection, where we now send more than 100,000 tests a day, we have all noticed the dangers posed by this virus in nursing homes.
We will provide an update of priorities in their entirety and do not derail extra measures so that the tests are used according to the priorities of some. It’s a selection we have to make.
Jeremy Hunt, chairman of the Commons fitness committee, said a week ago that Hancock said it would take two weeks to fix the delays. He asked if Hancock still thought he could fix this in a week.
Hancock said he thought it could be resolved in a matter of weeks. He said to Hunt:
Well, I think we’ll be able to solve this challenge in a few weeks and yesterday in your own driving, 194 other people passed their tests, so we can provide a record capacity, but as he knows very well, the call for is also superior and the answer is to make sure that we have a hierarchy so that other people who want it to the fullest can get the evidence they want.
Matt Hancock, the fitness secretary, is now responding to the pressure on the coronavirus.
He begins by saying that cases are multiplying in the world. France and Spain record more than 10,000 cases per day. And there were 2,600 new cases in the UK a day.
He says there are symptoms that the number of people in nursing homes and that the number of hospitalizations is increasing.
That’s why the six-way rule was introduced, he said. He says the government hasn’t done it lightly.
He says the UK has conducted 20 million tests in total and is doing more than almost any country.
He says the average distance traveled by a is now 5. 8 miles, compared to 6. 4 miles last week.
But he says other people get tested when they don’t want them. That’s why it’s important to prioritize.
He says other people will be prioritized in clinical care. Social care then takes precedence.
He says he’ll publish updated rules on prioritization. He won’t “escape prioritization decisions,” he says.

Nicola Sturgeon revealed that he had a so-called “constructive” convention with Matt Hancock and Dido Harding last night, after raising urgent considerations with the UK government about significant delays in obtaining the Covid effects from the immediate centre of the UK.
At her briefing, the Scottish Prime Minister said she had “requested assurances that Scotland would continue to have equitable access to testing capacity across the UK” and that her government would continue to monitor the situation.
Yesterday there were 267 cases, 101 in Greater Glasgow and Clyde and 59 in Lanarkshire, two councils subject to further restrictions on family gatherings, as well as an additional death.
Sturgeon said there is evidence that the existing ban on home visits in seven local authority spaces in western Scotland affects infection rates, but that restrictions will continue for another week, with the next review on 22 September.
He also warned the public to oppose false callers who claim to be touch trackers, who seek to trick other people into giving their bank main points by claiming there is a fee for the service. the tests and layouts were free. “Just put the phone on them right away. “
He said he was investigating whether it was imaginable to have more flexibility for children, such as birthdays, and that he would report later in the week.
