Mrs Erskine said,
“The spike in cases was well predicted by
health officials including the minister but with no PCR test slots
available and pharmacies running low on lateral flow kits, the question
must be asked as to what preparations were made to deal with the rise in
cases.
Just as the rise in cases was warned about,
then additional kits should have been supplied to help people establish
if they even needed a PCR slot.
It is deeply disappointing that something so widely predicted has evidently not been well prepared for.”
