    I see expert medical got referred by trading standards.

    Despite it being pointed out people are saying " but it's £28 " rather than the £43 with randox 
    . Expert medical seems to have a small shop 8n Bradford , randox have a huge testing facility in Ireland. The same people will spend €50 on pedalos hire on holiday without batting an eyelid

    Sometimes cheapest isn't best .

    Yes, by abolishing them completely for vaccinated travellers returning to the UK from Amber and Green destinations. This is how it works in most of the rest of Europe.

    Scotland's NHS is under enough pressure it seems. 

    Round and round we go. Seems a large % of people lie anyway. No surprises there..........

    Are you surprised though with no visible sign of the efficacy of such a process and little criticism or scrutiny in the media ?
