Leicester’s City council was provided with detailed testing information for the first time on Thursday (25 June), one week after the Secretary of State Matt Hancock announced that there was a local outbreak in Leicester

That is an utter and total disgrace news.leicester.gov.uk/news-articles/…
How the hell can the Leicester Council, local Public Health (or GPs) HOPE to contain an outbreak when they are only getting positive test data weeks after someone has been tested?
Doesn’t look as if it includes this week’s data either.

Over 800 KNOWN cases. @piersmorgan
Not just Leicester that is in trouble.

@jburnmurdoch @AndyBounds @SarahNev @Laura_K_Hughes Thanks for this. It has been doing my head in.

Something else odd seems to be happening with the stats.

They seem to have stopped inputting hospital admissions on 22nd of June (let alone locality)

26June for ICU.

Where can we go for better data?

@jburnmurdoch @AndyBounds @SarahNev @Laura_K_Hughes @jburnmurdoch

See above. So glad you are onto this.

Are you getting the data from CVS/EXCEL files rather than easily access dashboard data? (I seem to have a problem with my iPad accessing them. I don’t have a laptop.).

I could see the shortfall but not fill in the gaps.
@jburnmurdoch @AndyBounds @SarahNev @Laura_K_Hughes I also wonder if you have a sense why the grading data stops on 19 June.

Hancock refers to two weeks up to 23rd June. That suggests they have more.

Hard to think that they are doing anything other than deliberately hiding to deceive.

THIS Story by ⁦@ShaunLintern⁩ is going to make you mad

Rather than rapidly expand and support NHS labs with existing equipment, QA, information systems linked to GPs & PH they outsourced to companies with labs THAT HAD TO SET UP LABS FROM SCRATCH

independent.co.uk/news/health/co…
It gets worse.

They relied on volunteers! Students, not realising there were supporting commercial companies, volunteering as they expected to learn RT-PCR testing set to opening thousands and thousands of test bags, day after day.

No wonder they felt exploited.
All the tests failed at the beginning as they set up labs using donated equipment.

As I suspected there were NO common protocols, systems or QA between the various labs and OF COURSE they were not networked into NHS software systems.

Of COURSE it was a shambles.

If you don’t share the results properly, nothing works: Local health officials say they have been left in the dark on spread of coronavirus | The Independent

This Gov does not understand what it needs to buy so they keep cocking up
⁦@piersmorgan⁩ independent.co.uk/news/health/co…
They thought they just needed to buy tests.

NOPE. Fast accurate information.
Pillar 2 Lighthouse Labs were not providing Local Public Health of GPs with test results so they could hunt down the fires and extinguish them.

Even now it only provides aggregate totals.
Turns out the Labs are only provided kits with barcodes. The results of the barcodes is then sent to NHS digital who match the barcode with patient details and send it on to PH England.

PHE and NHS labs can enter their test result data directly into a system that GPs can access
