Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it plans to introduce a travel test package of NHS COVID-19 tests, offered at a fixed price, for travellers returning to Scotland, similar to that provided for travellers returning to Wales.


Answer

The Scottish Government currently only allows travellers returning from green and amber list countries to use NHS Covid-19 tests.

These home PCR kits are sold at a fixed price and can be booked through CTM, the UK Government’s booking portal for international travel.

Wales currently also only allow use of NHS Covid-19 tests, booked through CTM and have the same fixed pricing structure as offered in Scotland.
