Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether her Department collects covid-19 test results from private covid-19 test providers which allow for self-reporting of results.

Lateral flow device (LFD) tests which are privately purchased cannot currently be registered on GOV.UK and there is no requirement to report these results to the provider. However, this is kept under review. Free LFD tests can still be registered on GOV.UK.
