I did not vote against testing for NHS staff, because testing for NHS staff already exists.
What I voted against was a general statement of intent that every member of NHS staff, an organisation which employs 1.5 million people, plus social care to have weekly tests regardless of their situation. This would have placed NHS secretarial staff, finance managers, software designers and other staff in administrative roles, many of whom will be working from home, on the same footing as frontline nurses and doctors.
