Closed Free access to LFT tests for families visiting loved ones in Care Homes

Closed on

Now the Government have announced that everyone will have to start paying for LFT tests even if you are visiting patients in Care Homes or Nursing Homes. This is going to cause immense stress to some families that simply won’t be able to afford it.

We need the Government to rethink about families being charged for tests to visit their loved ones in Care Homes or Nursing homes. We already know about how much of an impact lockdown had on our most vulnerable family members. Now the Government wants to people to be charged for each individual test to visit. Some families with the hike in the cost of living simply won’t be able to afford it!
