Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reason employers are no longer able to order covid-19 lateral flow tests for their business on gov.uk; and if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of reinstating that service.

The offer of tests directly to most workplaces ended in England in July 2021 and employers were encouraged to direct their employees to order home tests from GOV.UK, collect from local pharmacies or order via 119. Workplace testing was therefore no longer required, as employees are able to order tests to use at home.
