Join us in calling on the UK Government to continue free tests for people who are eligible for COVID-19 treatments, their families and close contacts.

The UK Government is ending free COVID-19 tests for everyone excluding people at highest risk of severe illness from April 1st. The impact this will have, is that family, friends and carers run the risk of exposing vulnerable people to infection unless they can afford to keep paying for tests.

Please follow this link for more details and a template letter rairda.org/updates-and-news/

Rishi Sunak is my MP, I have emailed him but he never replies, nobody does. I wrote to him in October last year about some unsafe Covid Practices in a large store opposite his constituency office ……nothing!
