The Lateral flow device tests supply service for patients potentially eligible for COVID-19 treatments (LFD service) will continue to be commissioned as an Advanced service through 2026/27.
NHS England has agreed the fee for provision of the service will increase to £4.19 + VAT from 1st April 2026, following a request from Community Pharmacy England for an increase in the fee to reflect inflationary pressures.
