Money.

It can buy a hell of a lot more than a virus test.

Private health insurance.

Definitely not BUPA insurance as pandemic testing falls under the NHS. Someone is making a lot of money selling these tests privately

He could have travelled to a restricted area in which case before Thursday he would have been eligible for one anyway.

The test is not available privately.Yet.

Well, that was yesterday. May have changed now if NHS are restricting their testing.
