A Renfrewshire MP has slammed plans by the UK Government to stop supplying free covid tests.
Reports in several outlets this week suggest that the UK Government plans to end the provision of free lateral flow tests in the near future, possibly as soon as next month.
Senior scientific advisers have expressed concern about the plans, with the government’s own advisory group this month saying removing free tests will, “make it more difficult for people experiencing Covid-19 symptoms to confirm infections and take actions to reduce transmission to others.”
