Keep lateral flow and PCR tests for the public free of charge.
The public are already facing higher charges and this is another cost that will add to household bills. It will put people in a difficult situation as to whether they buy food or a test kit. I want this petition to be heard in Parliament for reconsideration.
Covid is still a world wide issue that has not gone away despite lower hospital admissions in the UK. Part of keeping ourselves and others safe shouldn't be a choice but a right for all people to be able to access.
The government made this decision without consulting with the public and it's services. I want my voice and many others to be heard and that is the reason I want the Parliament to deal with it.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/593320
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to reinstate free PCR tests, but these tests were only free in certain circumstances, so you'd need to be clear if you want the Government to make these free on demand, or only if someone had symptoms or had tested positive using a LFD.
