Reduce privet CoVId test prices or NHS do testing with minimum prices for travel

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Ask privet CoVId testing provider to reduce testing cost or NHS should provide testing for travel purposes with minimum amount . It’s too much burden sometimes more than flight cost to take minimum 4 test ( 1 before departure / 1 before arrival , and day 2 /day 8 test during quarantine )

Privet provider are costing 80 to 140 pounds per testing and after introducing day 2 / day 8 testing it’s very high burden on individuals and As in this pandemic only those people travelling which have high necessities of travel ( like family problems / death in family / people stuck from long time due to pandemic ) In these situation very difficult to pay such a big amount , so either reduce privet test cost of these test need to be done by NHS with minimum costing
