We are in France, about to return to England. So Day2&8 pcrs + quarantine.
However DD17 is going to Wales the next day. So 'port of entry' is England, but address on the passenger locator form will be Wales, that is where she will quarantine. For context, we live in England, not Wales (she is visiting a friend).
I understand that Welsh residents have to use a government specified pcr provider called CTM (in fact they are understandably annoyed because us English can shop around and use cheaper private suppliers).
However when I tried to book her Day2&8 pcr with CTM their website says "each order must be for each travellers home address. You are not allowed to order tests to be delivered to your address for people who are not normally resident at the delivery address.”
I presumed therefore that the ‘only use CTM not private suppliers’ rule does NOT apply to Welsh visitors (only for Welsh residents) - I have therefore ordered her pcrs from a private supplier. These will be delivered to my home address in England & I plan to courier the tests to her in Wales.
So to recap, seemingly as an English resident I can't order from CTM.
However I am now worried that using a private supplier's test while in Wales might cause a problem.
Has anyone else done this?
PS. i have spoken to someone at CTM who was clueless, just said look online. Can't find anything online
