thedailymirror--2020-04-22--Keir Starmer grills Dominic Raab at PMQs with 8 days left to hit 100,000 tests

Keir Starmer grilled Boris Johnson ’ s stand-in Dominic Raab on the huge gap between testing capacity and the number of actual tests performed at his first PMQs as Labour leader .
Mr Starmer said the Government is not making full use of its testing capacity to see if people have Covid-19 - and had been “ very slow ” to respond .
He added : `` The Health Secretary made a very important commitment to 100,000 tests a day by the end of April , but yesterday the figure for actual tests was 18,000 a day and that was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tests a day .
`` We 're way behind the curve and the end of the month is a week tomorrow .
So , what does the First Secretary expect to happen in the next eight days to get us from 18,000 tests a day to 100,000 tests a day ? ''
Responding , Mr Raab appeared to indicate the government ’ s target was to have capacity for 100,000 tests a day , which it is not .
Responding , Mr Raab said testing capacity was up to 40,000 a day and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end of the month .
He added : `` I do have to just correct him .
Our capacity for tests is now at 40,000 per day , so I think that is an incredibly important milestone .
`` Of course , he is right to say that in the final week that will require a big increase .
`` But , of course , with a project like this , it does require an exponential increase in the final days and the final week of the programme . ''
Announcing the target @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hancock said it would be on tests performed , not capacity .
He said : “ I ’ m now setting the goal of 100,000 tests per day by the end of this month .
That is the goal and I ’ m determined we ’ ll get there.
” Mr Starmer returned fire , pointing out the target was for completed tests rather than capacity , and saying the Government 's testing plan for NHS workers had an `` obvious problem '' .
He said : `` Last week the Health Secretary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a test would get one .
But the reality on the ground is very different , and there are very few tests indeed .
`` The position is this - if a care worker has symptoms of coronavirus or a family member has symptoms , he or she has to self-isolate , quite rightly .
`` To get a necessary test , they are then instructed to travel to a testing centre , which is often very many miles away . ''
He added : `` Now there 's an obvious problem with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will have access to a car , because they 've got symptoms or family members have got symptoms they obviously ca n't use public transport , so it is little wonder we 're seeing these pictures of half-empty testing centres .
`` What reassurance can the First Secretary give to care workers on the front line that things will approve for them and fast ? ''
Later Health Secretary Matt Hancock told MPs : `` I 've set the goal of 100,000 tests a day by the end of this month and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of capacity is ahead of plans , even though demand has , thus far , been lower than expected . ''

At his first PMQs, the Labour leader said the UK was 'way behind the curve' on the government's pledge to perform 100,000 tests a day
Keir Starmer grilled Boris Johnson’s stand-in Dominic Raab on the huge gap between testing capacity and the number of actual tests performed at his first PMQs as Labour leader.
Mr Starmer said the Government is not making full use of its testing capacity to see if people have Covid-19 - and had been “very slow” to respond.
He added: "The Health Secretary made a very important commitment to 100,000 tests a day by the end of April, but yesterday the figure for actual tests was 18,000 a day and that was down from Monday, which was 19,000 tests a day.
"We're way behind the curve and the end of the month is a week tomorrow. So, what does the First Secretary expect to happen in the next eight days to get us from 18,000 tests a day to 100,000 tests a day?"
Responding, Mr Raab appeared to indicate the government’s target was to have capacity for 100,000 tests a day, which it is not.
Responding, Mr Raab said testing capacity was up to 40,000 a day and will increase "exponentially" by the end of the month.
He added: "I do have to just correct him. Our capacity for tests is now at 40,000 per day, so I think that is an incredibly important milestone.
"Of course, he is right to say that in the final week that will require a big increase.
"But, of course, with a project like this, it does require an exponential increase in the final days and the final week of the programme."

Announcing the target on April 2, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said it would be on tests performed, not capacity.
He said: “I’m now setting the goal of 100,000 tests per day by the end of this month. That is the goal and I’m determined we’ll get there.”
Mr Starmer returned fire, pointing out the target was for completed tests rather than capacity, and saying the Government's testing plan for NHS workers had an "obvious problem".
poll loading Was it a good first PMQs for Sir Keir Starmer? 0+ VOTES SO FAR Yes No
He said: "Last week the Health Secretary said that every care worker who needed a test would get one. But the reality on the ground is very different, and there are very few tests indeed.
"The position is this - if a care worker has symptoms of coronavirus or a family member has symptoms, he or she has to self-isolate, quite rightly.
"To get a necessary test, they are then instructed to travel to a testing centre, which is often very many miles away."
He added: "Now there's an obvious problem with that system. Not all care workers will have access to a car, because they've got symptoms or family members have got symptoms they obviously can't use public transport, so it is little wonder we're seeing these pictures of half-empty testing centres.
"What reassurance can the First Secretary give to care workers on the front line that things will approve for them and fast?"
Later Health Secretary Matt Hancock told MPs : "I've set the goal of 100,000 tests a day by the end of this month and I'm delighted to say that the expansion of capacity is ahead of plans, even though demand has, thus far, been lower than expected."

Bale - who has two years remaining on his contract - has been told by the club that they are happy for him to stay beyond this summer , according to The Sun .
The publication @ @ @ @ @ @ @ match-day income and television money , no landmark signings are forecast this summer and the Los Blancos squad will remain largely the same going into the 2020-21 campaign .

Former Tottenham ace and his wife have reportedly donated £500,000 to the NHS in Cardiff and are to give €500,000 to the health service in Madrid
Real Madrid star Gareth Bale is reportedly donating almost £1m to fight coronavirus in both Wales and Spain.
Bale also posted a video thanking NHS staff for their work in combating the spread of Covid-19.
Wales ace Bale and his family have been in lockdown in Spain since March 14, with the country having imposed some of the tightest restrictions in Europe to combat the spread of Covid-19.
The 30-year-old and his wife Emma have made a £500,000 donation to the NHS in Cardiff, and are set to follow that up by handing €500,000 (around £439,000) to the health service in Madrid.
Bale made his donation to the Cardiff and Vale Health University health board, which is linked to the hospital where he was born.

In a video message published by the health board, Bale said: “I just wanted to make this video to thank everybody in the NHS for all their hard work and sacrifice during this Covid-19 crisis .
“The University Hospital in Wales holds a special place in my heart. It is where I was born and it’s provided great support to my friends, my family and the wider community.
"So me and my family would like to show our support. Keep up the good work. You’re doing an amazing job and thank you very much.”
Former Tottenham ace Bale has been linked with a return to the Premier League in recent months, but now appears set to stay at Real Madrid for at least another season after the Spanish giants ruled out marquee signings this summer.
Bale had appeared almost certain to leave the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of this campaign due to his uneasy relationship with boss Zinedine Zidane, and had previously been linked with Manchester United and his former club Spurs.
However, the Wales star was keen to remain with the La Liga side and it now seems certain he will, due to the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Bale - who has two years remaining on his contract - has been told by the club that they are happy for him to stay beyond this summer, according to The Sun.
The publication reports that, amid a lack of match-day income and television money, no landmark signings are forecast this summer and the Los Blancos squad will remain largely the same going into the 2020-21 campaign.

There has been a 30-year campaign for justice after a jury in 1991 gave a verdict of accidental death.
An independent report in 2012 showed the extent of a South Yorkshire police cover-up to blame Liverpool fans, including falsifying statements.
New inquests in 2016 concluded the 96 were unlawfully killed.
The proposed legislation, the Public Advocate Bill, was introduced in the Commons yesterday by Labour MP Maria Eagle.
