"Officials have now altered the rules so that a positive lateral flow test (LFT) result online will be enough to qualify for the treatments – but the change does not come into effect until 10 February.
The new plans were slipped into the latest version of the commissioning policy for community treatment of Covid-19, which was updated on Friday.
Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) are now telling people there are no more priority PCR tests available for them putting them at even greater potential harm if they catch Covid over the next 10 days . . .
The highest risk list, compiled by the Government, also powers an automatic referral system to the Covid Medicine Delivery Units (CMDUs) which is triggered when any patient on the list gets a positive PCR result.
Patients not on the list are put at a life-threatening disadvantage because they must instead find a GP, hospital doctor or nurse, A&E doctor, or a 111 call handler willing to refer them for the treatment – a process the charity Leukaemia Care said has left patients feeling “unsupported, frightened and abandoned”.
