RCN response to Health and Sport Committee on COVID testing

RCN Scotland's response to two questions posed by the Scottish Parliament Health and Sport Committee in relation to testing for COVID-19. 

Data about COVID-19 needs to be collected and analysed on a larger scale and with more granularity to enable measures to be targeted as precisely as possible regarding the characteristics that increase risk, whether personal or situational. The Scottish government must also set out a robust workforce plan for the workforce required to implement testing and tracing elements of the 'Test, Trace, Isolate' strategy.
