Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether each covid-19 testing facility offers nitrile gloves as an alternative to latex gloves for people with latex allergies.
This question was answered on 16th June 2021
We are not currently distributing any latex gloves as the majority of National Health Service trusts have a non-latex policy.
The lateral flow device test kits in use are latex free and are suitable for those with latex allergies.
