Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans are in place to support mandatory covid-19 testing costs for people who must travel abroad.

NHS Test and Trace tests can be purchased at the market mid-point to ensure that tests are available at an appropriate cost. We also offer deferred payment plans and support for people who cannot afford to pay for the cost of managed quarantine and testing. In some circumstances this may be available to those who are not in receipt of income related benefits.
