Seriously?

You can’t use their test because the NHS is a health service not a travel service. Their tests are for sick people or people think they may be sick. Not wanting to go off on holiday!

We will be back to where we were in September when it was taking a week or more to get your NHS results because so many were using it for travel purposes.

There are agreements between some countries not to accept health agencies tests for solely this reason.
