Part of 3. Topical Questions – in the Senedd at 3:30 pm on 7 October 2020.
Thank you, Minister, for that response, and I welcome the assurance that, obviously, COVID testing is unaffected by this news today. But importantly, obviously, this warehouse supplies other testing products to the NHS across the whole of the United Kingdom, in the field of cancer, cardiology, thyroid testing, and also electrolyte testing—in fact, it's a market leader in electrolytes. Other parts of the NHS in the UK have issued restrictions on blood testing—just for essential services only. Can you give an assurance today, or certainly in the short term, that there will be no disruption to blood testing in particular in the NHS in Wales, and if you can't give that assurance today, can you make sure that you make it available to Members as quickly as possible after you've had that information back?
