Your reply is rude and unnecessary
My response to you was to explain where you had misunderstood or said something misleading (especially about RPR requirement, most involved relatives choose to visit their loved ones more than that requirement would be anyway).
Expecting care homes to continue to provide free LFTs for all visitors ongoing - when there's no longer a free NHS supply as the government says there's no longer the budget to continue to do that- will increase costs and fees to self funded residents /or on the very services that are already stretched if either social care or NHS has to fund it - you’re failing to understand the extra costs it would incur - that's simply factual and unavoidable.
You have no idea the extra costs NHS and social care are still struggling through and how many years it’ll take to even slightly bounce back to our usual state of underfundedness.
It’s sad that people are quick to complain rather than appreciate at least U.K. did fund LFTs for a lm incredibly long period, where other nations
(even many of our European neighbours), did not. Yet most had the same testing requirements. Are you calling all those nations “sick psychopaths”? That’s so perjorative and entitled.
So of course you can campaign for continued free LFTs for visitors to carehomes and should do. But essentially you are asking for national tax increases. And the route to do that is to contact your MP to ask them to raise it in parliament.
I don’t disagree as I’d also rather LFT to carehome visitors were supplies free, but can see how costly that would be and I understand that would mean my taxes have to go up.
PPs have repeatedly suggested that you order a few postal packs whilst you can over the next months OP. That sounds like it will help in your situation at least for a bit.
