Looks like the government hadn't 'changed' the way tests were counted in order to 'fiddle' the figures;

No change to how tests are counted, says Prof Newton
Q. A report in the HSJ says tests are now being counted once posted out rather than once the sample has been processed, is that true?
Newton says there has been no change to the way tests are counted.
With new ways of delivering tests, officials have given advice on how they should be counted, he says.
The majority are counted in labs, but for any test which takes place outside the programme they’re counted when they leave the programme, he says. So tests that are mailed out or go out by satellite, have always been counted that way.
That’s the way they are counted, have always been counted and were advised to count them by officials.'
That's from the Guardian. So, no
@MyQul , the government didn't change anything to fiddle the figures, the counting methodology has been consistent, and they have hit the 100,000 per day target.
Although, I'm sure you were just about to correct your accusation in any case, eh?
