Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if the Government will take steps to ensure that childminders have access to covid-19 home testing kits.

As part of the expansion of asymptomatic testing, childminders can order self-test kits to their home through the online ordering service and can collect self-test kits from NHS Test and Trace test sites around the country, as well as from community collection sites where these are being established by local authorities. Individuals can check if asymptomatic testing is offered in their local area at the following link:
