Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether covid-19 lateral flow tests will continue to remain free indefinitely for people who are clinically extremely vulnerable or immunocompromised and their friends and families.

From 1 April 2022, access to free asymptomatic and symptomatic testing for the general public in England will end. We will provide free testing to a number of at risk groups. Further information on eligible groups will be made available in due course.
