Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will maintain free covid-19 testing in line with the Welsh Government in the context of increasing cases of covid-19 and admissions to hospital and intensive care.

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.
