Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to ensure that covid-19 lateral flow tests for people visiting residential care homes remain free after 1 April 2022.
Testing for visitors to care homes should continue in line with the wider care home testing regime. The regular asymptomatic testing regimes from 1 April 2022 are currently under review, including for visitors to care homes. Further detail on future testing in adult social care testing will be provided in due course.
