Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what support he is providing to people who need to return to the UK from a country on the travel ban list and who cannot afford the £1750 quarantine package.

For those facing significant financial hardship as a result of this charge, there will be an opportunity to apply for a deferred repayment plan when booking. This is available if they are already receiving income-related benefits and they will be required to pay back the charge in 12 monthly instalments.
