Closed Increase regulation of covid-19 testing by private companies.

Closed on

There are currently light entry requirements into the UK market for providers of Covid-19 tests. I believe this comes at the consumers' expense.

Greater regulation could protect consumers from poor business practises, which have left thousands out of pocket, heartbroken and feeling helpless.

We need regulation to cap covid-19 test prices, allow only fully accredited companies to retail Covid-19 tests, and oversee performance of and complaints about providers.

Covid has been hard enough, let's not continue to be stung by poor business practices and questionable ethics.
