Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment the Government has made of the risk to (a) public health and (b) transmission of covid-19 of the gov.uk stating that there are no home delivery slots for covid-19 lateral flow tests available.
No specific assessment has been made. However, the UK Health Security Agency increased both the supply of tests and distribution capability. From January 2022, we expected to deliver approximately seven million tests a day through GOV.UK and 90 million tests a week through all delivery channels.
