An undercover investigation into a Tory-linked Covid-19 testing lab claims to have uncovered evidence of ‘serious failings'.
Channel 4's Dispatches programme sent an undercover reporter to work at Randox, one of the UK's Test and Trace super labs in Northern Ireland.
The firm has been given almost £500m worth of government contracts, and employs Tory former minister Owen Paterson as a paid advisor.
Footage shows the undercover employee being told by a colleague that tests sent to the lab for analysis are sometimes not unpacked properly and are accidentally thrown away with cardboard waste.
