In reply to Danbow73:
I'm not sure this is news; the count is (and always has been clearly annotated as such), fairly reasonably, of the number of analytical tests performed. If tests have to be repeated for individuals, for whatever reason, the analytical test still has to be performed. The total number of tests performed, and the number of individuals tested, has been published from the outset.
I think the testing has been a shambles, and there have been other methods of fudging figures to hit the specious target of 100k tests, but I don't think this is one of them.
The fact that the Torygraph is critical is quite interesting... Seems even they and the Daily Hate are running critical stories...
