Free lateral flow tests by post no longer available

[Crapyeartoo]

Since the end of free lateral flow tests for all mg DH has been able to get them via the government website via his NHS login.

the charity that cover his cancer sent us an email telling (November 2023) us this was coming to an end and a link to the NHS website (treatments for Covid-19). That tells us to go to the local chemist with proof of eligible condition.

Ive been to two local chemists and a the big boots at out of town shopping centre, both either don’t know what I’m talking about and having directed them to NHS website say they are not doing it.

Apparently Day Lewis chemist are doing them but we have none near us.

has anyone managed to get them from any other chemists. We are south east (Maidstone towards Ashford area).

Free or to buy? I think the OP is after free tests.

They are £1.99 in B&M. You could get a few cheap ones while you wait for the free nhs ones maybe.

thank you everyone, I was looking for the free NHS ones that he’s been getting direct from the government.

due to nature of the cancer we need to be still 100% cautious of Covid and so LFT’s are still used by our household on a weekly basis.
