Today I asked the Secretary of State of Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, if he can confirm that regional test sites, like the bet365 Stadium in Stoke-on-Trent, will remain in place for as long as necessary to ensure we remain able to continue an effective test and trace strategy.
I was delighted he confirmed this would be the case.
Alongside Cllr Abi Brown, Leader of Stoke-on-Trent City Council , I lobbied the Secretary of State to ensure we got the regional testing centre in Stoke-on-Trent and was delighted it was approved.
