Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the cost is of NHS distributed covid-19 home testing kits from dispatch to test result.

The cost of COVID-19 home testing kits, including the logistics and laboratory processing costs, depends on the type of testing technology being used. We continuously review our testing technology and delivery channels to ensure we provide sufficient overall testing capacity whilst securing value for money for the taxpayer. The precise information is commercially sensitive.
