Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the impact of ending free-of-charge covid-19 lateral flow tests on pregnant women.
This question was answered on 3rd March 2022
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 provided in due course. We will continue to keep the impact of these policies on pregnant women under review.
