Closed Continue providing Lateral Flow / Self Test Kits free by post and at pharmacies

Closed on

It has been reported that the Government may end the provision of free Lateral Flow / Self Test Kits.

I am proposing that the Government continue to provide free lateral flow testing, as this is the arguably the best way to encourage people to use them.

We are in the throes of a global pandemic. It should be absolutely hassle and cost free to receive tests to see if you have stated infection. The fact that these tests may be charged for is simply absurd and, to be honest, repulsive. If the Government continues to preach that we should be tested every week, they must make these tests freely available. They can't have their cake and eat it too!
