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

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
In infectious diseases there is no time to be lost. 48 hours.

But they are still seeing 7 day turn around.

And seeing patients in A & E who test positive in NHS labs who tested negative in a Lighthouse lab.

Infecting how many in between?
Doctors and local PH are struggling to get the results, the postcode, ethnicity and other detailed data.

Things as such that some have told their local care homes not to use Pillar 2 labs.

You can see why. Too risky.
