Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether (a) friends, (b) family members and (c) carers of immunocompromised people will be able to access free asymptomatic covid-19 tests once mass free testing has ended.
From 1 April 2022, free 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.
