GSD: Government’s statement ruling out widespread supply of Lateral Flow Tests “requires further thought”
The GSD says that, “well before Christmas”, it questioned on social media whether the Government should make Lateral Flow Tests (LFTs) freely available as part of a wider testing strategy. The party says that the use of LFTs in other countries has played a vital role in monitoring the virus and improved public engagement more generally. Whilst the party admits that there has been debate about the utility and reliability of the LFTs in other countries, “they form part of the armoury for detection.”
