Covid PCR testing is a 'rip-off jungle'

Concerns regarding the price of tests have been raised again after the government announced people arriving in the UK would need to take a PCR test before the end of their second day - on top of a pre-flight test.

The Laboratory and Testing Industry Organisation, which works with the government to ensure the UK testing industry has high ethical and professional standards, said the government had failed to "enforce accuracy" on its providers list. "To allow this to continue over the peak Christmas period would be scandalous. Other countries seem to have done better - we've got to try harder".As the government has reintroduced the need for more testing associated with travel, the Department of Health and Social Care has approached many private providers to see if they could increase their testing capacity to meet increasing demand.
