"The PHA is aware of significant demand on COVID-19 PCR testing at fixed and mobile testing units. The agency is working with DHSC and the Department of Health in Northern Ireland to look at all options for increasing availability of PCR testing for those who need it.
"Anyone seeking a PCR test is asked to be patient when trying to book a slot. Slots are added each day at 6pm for appointments the following day. PCR tests can also be ordered for home delivery through the same booking portal, which enables the test to be completed at home."
