Question
To ask the Scottish Government where each test centre in its COVID-19 community hub model is located, also broken down by the number of tests carried out.
Answer
The Covid-19 Community Pathway was established to alleviate the pressure on GP practices by providing a safe pathway for patients who are experiencing Covid-19 symptoms. Patients are triaged through the CoVID Hub and are seen at a Community Assessment Centre if this is deemed the most appropriate clinical outcome. From 1 June, the Community Assessment Centres will also test patients who are assessed as being symptomatic. There are currently 44 Community Assessment Centres operational across Scotland. The numbers of these Centres will change over time as the Health Boards review their activity level – this is a local decision for NHS Boards.
The Scottish Government does not currently hold data on numbers of tests carried out at each centre.
