Nick in Nottingham went to the government’s online page to book a coronavirus check and was given a spot at a check-up center 541 kilometres from Dundee, he told Nick Ferrari last week.
“I am satisfied with the testing system, we were promised a world-class tracking and traceability system,” Nick told THE Secretary of Health at LBC’s Call the Cabinet, recounting his experience.
Mt Hancock replied: “We have replaced that now and other people are being presented with evidence within a 75-mile radius, which remains a hike if necessary.
“The challenge is that we have the largest formula consistent with capita in all major countries in Europe, particularly larger than France, SpainArray..Germany.
“During the summer, we saw the call for tests that were piling up in array …so if your local center is full, other people are invited to pass enough.”
Nick Ferrari asked the appellant how much time had passed and revealed that it was ten days ago that they asked him to make a circle of almost 700 miles.
“How is it possible that this formula has been approved to allow someone to be advised 350 miles away?” Nick asked Matt Hancock.
“The vast majority of people have to register at their local verification center,” he replied, acknowledging that there had been “problems” with the system, but since then he has announced a billion pounds for greater capacity.
The Secretary of Health showed Nick Ferrari that the formula has been adapted so that no one is presented with a location more than 120 km from his home.
