The government started this by hiding behind 'capacity' (even that was spun) but for many people they couldn't get to the test stations because of location/distance. If we now have enough testing capacity in the right places (over the whole UK) and they are still under-used then there is a real problem of communication and planning. That clearly involves employers, local authorities and other agencies and individuals - but ultimately it comes back to the government.
