Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what asssessment they have made of the levels of the availability of lateral flow tests from 1 April either (1) through the NHS, or (2) commercially.
We are confident there will continue to be sufficient tests available through the National Health Service from 1 April 2022. We will provide further details on eligible groups in due course. The Government is engaging with retailers to support the development of a strong private market for testing to ensure that tests are widely available for the public to buy.
