roche say they are working hard to resolve this issue as soon as possible.ver the dispatch of covid—19 pcr and antibody tests. what is the impact notjust on covid testing, but on testing for other conditions like cancer? that is the thing. we are working with them and there are signs of progress. laboratories are starting to see supplies coming through and it is a fast—moving situation. so we are working closely with the company to improve things. but this can only last a matter of days. otherwise we run the risk of having a significant impact on the laboratory's ability to deliver routine tests for other conditions and also for diagnosing some cancers which use roche antibodies in pathology labs. and that informs the treatment that people get. so there isa treatment that people get. so there is a range of implications for laboratory testing. we have contingency plans. every laboratory has a contingency plan and we have introduced those, so we are looking for suppliers. we are looking to prioritise testing and where there are samples which are not temperatur

roche is one of the big providers. they are a big supplyer of the antibody test.ated their lab in east sussex to a fully automated one in east sussex, which would be capable of providing more equipment, some in the medical community have commented this may have been done ahead of brexit, to mitigate disruption to supply chain, in a statement yesterday they said they encountered unforeseen issues and a drop in processing capacity and getting the kit out and hospitals have been alerted and the bbc has been told that one trust has told gps to pause non—urgent blood test, nhs providers which represents trusts say defending on how much hospitals and surgeries have in stock it could have a knock on effect. roche say they have recruited extra staff, they are prioritising the covid testing but theissue prioritising the covid testing but the issue may not be resolved for two to three week, the prime minister has said the aim is to be carrying out 500,000 tests a day by the end of october and the knock on effect may have consequences on that ambition. thank you lauren. alex

working with roche. is there any way around that in future ?|j working with roche.viously, the big pharmaceutical systems a re obviously, the big pharmaceutical systems are very embedded and entrenched. i think the testing for coronavirus in particular, works across a number of platforms. i think it won't stop testing altogether for that, but it will slow the progress. i think one of the things it shines a light on, well, two things it shines light on. 0ne well, two things it shines light on. one is the whole thing around needing to ration tests for a little while, but for coronavirus and other conditions. i was reading an article on your website which highlighted how a trust in the south—west was already doing that but it also highlights the fact that we are in a situation where we are seeing how reliant trusts are on commercial supply chains for medical supplies and consumables. that is really tricky when we think about brexit and the end of the transition period from the new deal brexit. logistics will become incredibly important. we need to make sure the governm

so we are looking for alternative suppliers for roche products, where they are available.rioritise testing and we can sometimes, where it's appropriate, if we get samples that are not temperature—dependent, we can then store them and we can test them later, once we get... but we are working very creatively to minimise the impact of this. but if it goes into weeks, then it's more difficult to see how those contingency plans will work effectively. president trump has said he's calling off negotiations over a crucial covid—19 relief bill, until after next month's election. american stocks fell after the announcement. democratic presidential nominee joe biden said mr trump had "turned his back" on the american people. but the president placed the blame on the democratic—party controlled house of representatives. he tweeted: that was a reference to the democratic leader in the house, nancy pelosi. here's what she has to say. we've done testing in the first bill, march ath, march ath, and the bill since, but they never would accept the science of what you need to do to stop this
