Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the COVID-19 Response: Living with COVID-19, published on 23 February 2022, whether the 1.3 million people in receipt of covid-19 treatments will be able to access free-of-charge asymptomatic covid-19 tests from 1 April 2022.

From 1 April 2022, free universal symptomatic and asymptomatic testing for the general public in England will end. However, limited symptomatic testing will be available for a small number of at-risk groups. Further details on eligible groups will be made available in due course.
