Extremely important work by @jburnmurdoch and others at @FT on Government’s failure to share crucial data on #COVID19 testing with Leicester council and other key local players 1/3 https://www.ft.com/content/301c847c-a317-4950-a75b-8e66933d423a

Pillar 1 is tests in hospitals. This is published. Pillar 2 is tests from drive through centres and home testing kits done by commercial labs. This is not made public. Leicester was only given this data very late in the day. 2/3

According to @FT a @PHE_uk source says decision not to publish this crucial data was made by Ministers. We urgently need to know whether this is the case and ensure in future, all data is fully shared. Bcos whats happening in Leicester could be happening elsewhere. 3/3
