Priorities clear.
Well if those comments relate to the first few minutes of what was said, the bit I put in bold was misreporting by the Guardian.
What was actually said points to UK government trying to impose test rationing at a different point in the system, not the Lighthouse lab:
"Indeed over the weekend the health secretary managed to resist a move to limit access to testing slots, mobile testing units and regional testing centres".
Probably we could already guess this was on the cards given the news of recent days, but its very useful to have it confirmed.

indeed i understand they have 'beaters' as an integral part of the processI don't see anywhere that mentions not having repetitive beats and dancing at these "grouse hunts"
I'm not that surprised to see that email from Vallance, defensive manoeuvres by people at this level of officialdom have been on occasional display for months now. The collective failure is clear, individual failure regarding lockdown is still a very limited picture.
Customers using multiple Availability Zones, or Zone Redundant services should not experience impact related to this. Impacted customers are advised to activate their service continuity plans and/or migrate their services to other Availability Zones in the region.
No tests of any sort in any of the hotspots:
Today's dashboard message...
Due to an ongoing issue with Microsoft Azure, we are currently unable to update the data. We are monitoring the situation closely and will update the website as soon as the services are restored.
New cases/deaths published elsewhere (Sunday figures and with the ongoing test/processing problems) -
...but then we still have no update on healthcare, after the weekend.
Last data on patients admitted was on the 9th, and last data on the number of covid pos patients was on the 11th.
The data for the number of patients on mechanical ventilation (which was also last updated on the 11th, iirc) is missing altogether for now.
Which dashboard is this?

Lol all that debate about which vaccines are the best, herd immunity and whether to lockdown or not, turns out all we needed to do is hand everyone a rifle and send them out into the moors
I hate to be pedantic, but to hit a grouse with a rifle, you would need to be Annie Oakley.
That's very Rupert the Bear. With added dead stuff.
God, that's even more embarrassing, huh - it was their time to speak, or not - not to send mortified, conflicted, hang-wringing emails about it.
A lack of coronavirus tests for NHS staff is leading to staff absences and services being put at risk, hospital bosses have warned.
NHS Providers, which represents hospital trusts in England, said staff are having to self-isolate rather than work because they cannot get tests for themselves or family members.
Mr Hopson said trusts need to know more detail so they can plan accordingly, for example by creating their own testing facilities.
"Our recent survey showed how concerned trust leaders were about the impact of inadequate testing on their ability to restore services and it's disappointing that no detailed information on the current problems has been shared," he said.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the British Medical Association has said the government should focus on the current testing system - rather than its "Operation Moonshot" plan which aims to see millions of tests processed every day by using a new type of test which is not yet rolled out.
"Down here on planet Earth, we need a fit for purpose test and trace system in the here and now with capacity, agility and accessibility that doesn't require 100-mile journeys that disadvantage some of the most vulnerable," the BMA's Dr Chaand Nagpaul is expected to say in a speech later on Tuesday.
