The decision was made after the loss of staff test results, according to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/23/hospitals-sound-alarm-over-privately-run-test-centre-in-surrey"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Guardian</span></a>. The tests were unable to go through diagnosis due to the sending of results to the wrong recipients.</p>
<p>Deloitte is among the big 4 accounting firms (Ernst &; Young, KPMG, PWC are others), and they denied running the test centres but they support the Department of Health.</p>
<p>The flagship testing centre, based at Chessington World of Adventures, was one of the first regional facilities to be used. It is considered by Matt Hancock, as the key to delivering on the government promise of 100,000 tests a day by the end of April.</p>
<p>As of today we have only ever tested more than 15,000 people twice, and up to April 21st around 397,670.</p>

<p>A spokesman from the Department for Health said they were <em>&#8220;implementing further porcesses within the department to ensure rapid investigation of outstanding test results that are not provided to those tested within 48 hours&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>As of late, the Chessington centre&#8217;s issue of missing results have yet to be resolved.</p>
<p>The public were quick to express their opinion on social media:</p>
