Lateral flow tests run out for second day - as major new rules come in today
Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab this morning insisted the issue with ordering LFTs from the Government website is not due to a lack of the tests.
"We know that in relation to the online system there were some challenges yesterday and that's partly because of the proportion they've got each day. He said: "There is no shortage of actual tests that are held by UKHSA. There are tens of millions of tests... the issue, the limiting factor because of the hugely increased demand... is the ability to deliver the tests and having enough capability to deliver the tests because the current arrangements with Royal Mail alone are not enough."
He added: "We are taking this proportionate and more practical measure to limit the impact on people’s day to day lives while helping to reduce the spread of Omicron.
