Coronavirus: Politician calls for clarity on Covid-19 testing issues

Stormont's health minister has raised concerns about the UK-wide Covid-19 test booking system after some NI users were offered tests in Great Britain. Robin Swann said he has contacted UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock 'seeking action on a number of concerns'. He was speaking after Sinn Féin assembly member Pat Sheehan was offered a test in Scotland and called the online booking system a 'shambles'. Mr Swann described it as a 'glitch' and said it must be resolved as a priority. Mr Sheehan tweeted details of his personal experience of the booking system after trying to organise a test for his four-year-old daughter who had developed a high temperature.
