Just noticed this on the NHS lateral flow test reporting site:
Use this service to report your result to the NHS after using a rapid lateral flow test kit to check if you’re infectious with coronavirus (COVID-19).
You cannot use this service to report results from a test kit you’ve paid for.
So the tests we buy we no longer log the results anywhere? I hadn't really thought about that but I guess it's about getting rid of the ongoing costs of monitoring all that data, not just the cost of the test kits themselves. Doesn't this make the 'reported positive infections' numbers a bit useless?
