Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make it his policy to continue free covid-19 testing in special schools and children’s care homes in England; and if he will make a statement.
From 1 April 2022, free universal access to lateral flow device testing for the public in England will end. We will continue to make free testing available for a small number of at risk groups. Further details on eligible groups will be available in due course.
