The health secretary says he promised residents would be Covid-tested when capacity became available.
Mr Hancock has previously said the claims against him were "not true".
Mr Hancock was asked: "So it's a question of tenses? You didn't tell the prime minister that people were going from hospitals into care homes without being tested?"bring in testing when the testing capacity was available." The clinical advice had been that "hospital is a dangerous place for people who might end up getting Covid after they'd taken the test" and that "what matters is that you had the infection prevention control when you're in the care home".
