Welsh Conservative health spokesperson – Andrew RT Davies MS – has commented on the announcement today (December 4) that rapid Covid testing for frontline hospital and care staff will be introduced this month.
Lateral flow tests can provide a result in around 30 minutes.
Mr Davies said:
“I’m glad to see that the Welsh Labour-led Government has finally caught up with Welsh Conservatives’ call to make this happen in Wales.
“Like many of their announcements it’s now vital that they follow through from their press release and deliver these tests to health and care settings across Wales.
“The tests will provide reassurance to our fantastic health and social care staff – as well as to their families the people they’re caring – for as they battle this virus.”
