Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to support employers, including health and care employers, with the cost of covid-19 testing after the suspension of NHS covid-19 testing from April 2022.

From 1 April 2022, free universal access to lateral flow device tests for the public in England will end. We will continue to make testing available for a small number of at risk groups. Further details on eligible groups will be made available in due course.
