Rejected petition Allow visitors to loved ones in care homes to have free lateral flow tests.

Allow visitors to care homes to access free Lateral flow tests.

More details

It has been a difficult time for us all but it has been really challenging for those of us with a loved one in a care or residential home.
From April, visitors to care homes will need to buy lateral flow tests in order to visit their loved ones. Current pricing shows that a single test would be between £2.50 and £5.99 and packs of 4 from £17.
Care homes will be insisting on negative LFT s for some time. After not being able to see relatives for long period,we now have to pay to visit?
