Allow visitors to loved ones in care homes to have free lateral flow tests.
Allow visitors to care homes to access free Lateral flow tests.
It has been a difficult time for us all but it has been really challenging for those of us with a loved one in a care or residential home.
From April, visitors to care homes will need to buy lateral flow tests in order to visit their loved ones. Current pricing shows that a single test would be between £2.50 and £5.99 and packs of 4 from £17.
Care homes will be insisting on negative LFT s for some time. After not being able to see relatives for long period,we now have to pay to visit?
