Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to reduce the cost of covid-19 home test kits for travellers entering the UK.

For those in quarantining at home, the testing package of two COVID-19 tests is £210 if purchased from NHS Test and Trace. We recently introduced private sector testing of travellers to offer a wider choice of providers for those who need to purchase private tests. The prices and service offered by these approved providers may vary. These costs will be kept under constant review.
