Barry has written to Matt Hancock to seek assurances on 3 very important matters for Brent :
Seek assurance that the London Borough of Brent will be given priority access to testing given its history of vulnerable and deprived communities being so badly affected by the first pandemic wave.
Ask for confirmation that household-level information and contact tracing data will be available to Brent Council in real time?
Ask for confirmation that additional testing capacity and targeted testing hubs will be available within our vulnerable communities and that local residents can access tests at those hubs so that my constituents are not compelled to travel to distant areas and risk spreading the virus?
