answer text <p>Lateral flow device (LFD) tests are no longer available from local tests sites in England, as home testing has become the preferred method. As with polymerase chain reaction test kits, these are sent free of charge to the home or the address specified. Home testing enables those who are shielding, self-isolating, have mobility issues, live in very rural areas or are waiting for elective surgery and key workers, to order LFD tests from GOV.UK to take in their own home.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We have funded an additional 1,500 undergraduate medical school places each year for domestic students in England or a 25% increase over three years. This expansion was completed in September 2020 and has delivered five new medical schools in England. In addition, we have temporarily lifted the cap on medical school places for students who completed A-Levels in 2020 and in 2021 and who had an offer from a university in England to study medicine, subject to their grades. We have no immediate plans to further increase the number of places.</p> more like this
