Lord Bilimoria: My Lords, I was delighted to hear the Secretary of State, Matt Hancock, announce the Government’s investment of £0.5 billion for testing innovation. Is the Minister aware of Abbott Laboratories’ new $5 antigen test, released just two weeks ago in the United States? On a card, within 15 minutes it can give results anywhere—at a school, a university, in the workplace or at the airport....

Baroness Thornton: My Lords, we need to return to statistics. Last week, the Health Secretary Matt Hancock told the House of Commons that new figures from the ONS showed that the number of suicides in England fell during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic. Could the Minister confirm to the House that this was mistaken? While the figures cited by the Health Secretary are the latest reported by the ONS, the ONS...

the Earl of Devon: ...for a generation. I raised this important issue with the Minister before the Summer Recess, noting how withdrawal from the UPC was simply not consistent with the Government’s aim, as stated by Matt Hancock, that they wanted the UK to be “the best place in the world to design and trial the latest medical innovations.”—[ Official Report, Commons, 2/3/2020; col. 662.] Lord Bethell...
Jeane Freeman: On the latter part of that question, I have written to all my colleagues—Matt Hancock; Vaughan Gething, the health minister in Wales; and Robin Swann, the health minister in Northern Ireland—advising them of the work that I have commissioned from Public Health Scotland on discharges from hospital and asking them whether they wish to do similar. I have not yet had a response from any of...
Jeane Freeman: Yes, there have been. In the regular four-nations calls that I take part in with my colleague health ministers in Wales and Northern Ireland and the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, we regularly discuss the common challenges to us all in responding to the pandemic. Those challenges have included ensuring that our NHS was prepared, introducing additional...
Jeane Freeman: ...know for certain whether it will make a difference, or whether, if it makes a difference, that will be a good difference or a less than good difference. On Monday night, I had a conversation with Matt Hancock, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, in which he informed me and my colleagues in Wales and Northern Ireland of his intention to make those changes. His assurance was...
Jeane Freeman: ...Kingdom, we have wrestled with those challenges, as, indeed, have individuals and our counterparts in Europe and elsewhere. I will write today to my colleagues in Wales and Northern Ireland, and to Matt Hancock in the UK Government, setting out what I have asked Public Health Scotland to do and asking them to consider initiating a comparable exercise so that we can look across the UK’s...
Annabelle Ewing: ...May 1999; c 5.] With a nod to the words of the late, great Canon Kenyon Wright, I say that we are the people and we say no, for the UK Government’s proposals are unconstitutional, incoherent as a matter of law and anti-democratic. More insidiously, perhaps, they reflect an increasingly hostile environment for Scotland within the union. What happened to the no campaign refrain of 2014...
Baroness Brinton: ...his borough remaining in lockdown, despite much better figures than Leicester City Council. I am sorry to say that Councillor John Boyce, the leader of Oadby and Wigston, has still not heard from Matt Hancock, despite the latter saying publicly that he had spoken to him. However, it is not just the leader of the council. Many local residents are extremely concerned, as are senior...
Lord Trimble: ...for the targets and have not taken account of the difficulties for Ministers who wish to make a change but find that making changes is extremely difficult under our processes. I recall that, when Matt Hancock talked about increasing the targets for testing, he was met with derision. I hope that that will not happen here.
Robin Swann: That is a valid point, and it is one that I raised with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, on Saturday night, because there seems to be inconsistency between the advice that is coming from the Health Departments across the four nations and the advice that is being given by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. I wrote today to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office...
Baroness Brinton: ...people, are being left isolated. In his introductory remarks, the Minister referred to Leicester and Oadby and Wigston. I am sorry to say that the leader of Oadby and Wigston had to write to Matt Hancock on 22 July, saying: “I would like you to correct the inaccurate statement you made in the House of Commons this afternoon. You stated that you had consulted all Council Leaders. This is...
