the ctc recorded on a daily basis, the ctc has suggested the deaths in care homes is double what was recorded yesterday. can he ensure testing is insured for nhs staff, it is ludicrous to expect care workers to drive miles and miles for testing. can he ensure ppa supply systems for the nhs system is now expanded to the nhs system is now expanded to the social care system? we need to be pursuing the preventative agenda with much more vigour than we have been, perhaps, and making sure that ppe is available on so that the staff can protect themselves as well there e—mail, he said we are now part of it but i will be not part of it in the beginning? someone in the foreign office said it was a political decision. could he tell us what went on? could he publish all the background briefings so we can see exactly what happened and he can reassure us see exactly what happened and he can reassure us that appropriate... finally, on testing i agree with him. testing and contact tracing is vital in lockdown so he talks about wanting to upscaled contact tracing. that is very labour—intensive. can w

not on ctc because it has not yet published its report.aths, sadly your starting position is of course correct. in care homes, what we have is a large number of people of the most vulnerable age for this virus, a virus which is particularly a virus are people who are older and particularly a virus which causes severe disease and death in a minority but an increasing minority as you go up in age. and in those who have coexisting medical problems. and many people in care homes of course and nursing homes in particular have coexisting medical problems so they are a very vulnerable group, you're absolutely right. the numbers that have been ascribed to covid directly in 0ns statistics are still relatively modest but i've said repeatedly in data, the fact that the 0ns said in the last weekly report 826 deaths, every one of them a tragedy, but i think that will be an underestimate. what we need to look at in these data and other data if we want to get a true picture is, and i've said this from the beginning, the all because seasonally adjusted mo
