A LACK of coronavirus tests for NHS staff is putting services at risk - as none are available in the 10 worst-hit areas, health bosses have warned.
She told BBC Breakfast, she said it was "unacceptable" that some people were struggling to get tests, and "much more work needs to be undertaken with Public Health England". Saffron Cordery, NHS Providers deputy chief executive, told the BBC: "It means that trusts up and down the country are unable to start the restoration of services that we so desperately need to see after Covid.
"The problem is that NHS trusts are working in the dark - they don't know why these shortages are occurring, how long they are likely to last, how geographically widespread they are likely to be and what priority will be given to healthcare workers and their families in accessing scarce tests."For example, trusts need to know if they should try to create or re-establish their own testing facilities as quickly as possible.
"Both approaches ignore the operational problem at hand. Neither helps the frontline organisations that actually have to deal with the problem." He added: "Anyone with a child will tell you that respiratory infections peak as schools go back in September.
