Director of Public Health says changes necessary going forward
Arrangements are underway to set up new contact tracing teams which will sit within the Cabinet Office.
Speaking at yesterday afternoon's media briefing, Director of Public Health Dr Henrietta Ewart says they'll be managed by GTS, but with professional links to public and environmental health.
Dr Ewart says the system will be similar to those further afield:
