Still waiting for the latest results from swabs taken ~midday last Saturday, so that's 7 days so far.
The nurse did say that there was a backlog of testing due to Christmas, the most recent test was 6 weeks from the last one, so I guess there's a backlog processing them and, as you say and quite rightly, they are probably processing other tests as a priority over the ONS tests (which are just for a population wide study).
The nurse also said that we'd probably get another visit in 2 weeks (so trying to keep to the overall 4 week schedule rather than automatically being 4 weeks from the last one).
[EDIT] Results (negative) arrived in the post this morning. Letter dated 12th Jan (test was on 9th Jan). None of us received a text with the results which I thought we'd asked for. (Not fussed, it's a population wide study not an individual testing programme after all.)

Thanks @Jimm and @rj and @Greenbank
Situation probably not helped by not receiving letters for a few days (weirdly parcels are fine)

Other people in the ONS survey: how long is it taking you to get test results? I had a swab and blood test on Monday. Sounds like (understandably) they are prioritising tests from people who have symptoms
