Chris Heminway, Exec-Chair at Time To ACT, explains why now is the right time for the Group to IPO. Watch the video here.
Just filter them so much less stressful.
Cant believe that some poeple post 13 times in a day with essay long posts and only on ODX.
Nearly time to buy back in Gary?
brilliant - Thanks Newbyoldy
I for one would be very interested to get feedback from anyone that went to the AGM.
So lets be clear what the "autumn winter plan" actually says : (see last paragraph)
Since the asymptomatic testing programme began, it has found over 700,000 cases and, today, lateral flow devices (LFD) identify around a quarter of all cases reported daily.[footnote 18] Delivering this programme has included providing Scotland with 150 million LFDs, Wales with 75 million and Northern Ireland 50 million. Regular asymptomatic testing will continue to help find cases and break the chains of transmission. It will be particularly focused on those who are not fully vaccinated, those in education, and those in higher-risk settings such as the NHS, social care, and prisons. Community testing will continue to support local authorities to focus on disproportionately-impacted and other high-risk groups.
Testing in education settings has played an important role in identifying positive cases since the start of this year, helping reduce the spread by removing infected individuals from the classroom or lecture hall. In secondary schools, further education and higher education, the Government expects that testing for students will continue for the rest of this term. This will be a valuable tool in minimising the overall disruption to education, and is particularly helpful for this cohort, given its current lower level of vaccine-based protection.
Rapid asymptomatic testing is an important tool to help reduce the spread of the virus, while supporting people to manage their own risk and the risks to others. The Government will therefore continue to provide the public with access to free lateral flow tests in the coming months. People may wish to use regular rapid testing to help manage periods of risk such as after close contact with others in a higher risk environment, or before spending prolonged time with a more vulnerable person. At a later stage, as the Government’s response to the virus changes, universal free provision of LFDs will end, and individuals and businesses using the tests will bear the cost. The Government will engage widely on the form of this model as it is developed, recognising that rapid testing could continue to have an important, ongoing role to play in future.
So is it a sell for you now then TW? or just a rant?

Sorry TW I don't claim to know anything about the procurement process but the BMJ article would suggest the Government planned to stop issuing free LFT's.
The average deaths for the UK is now 135 per day, 38000+ new cases per day and 8000 poeple I hospital yesterday with covid. I have personally used more LFT's in the past 4 weeks than I did in the last 18 months and I'm double jabbed.
Sorry - on the page now.
have a good weekend. Onwards and upwards
Sorry Twatcher you have lost me on that one - why would i take it up with BJ?
Both,
the letter i received back from my MP & Lord Bethell made ist clear that the reason Innova got EUA was that it was the only one that had been given CE marking for home use approval - see below:
I believe the Ulster trial is very important and really want it to be the next RNS
Thank you for your correspondence of 29 June on behalf of your constituent, Mr ********
***** , about COVID-19 and lateral flow device (LFD) tests. I apologise for the delay in
replying.
I appreciate Mr ****** concerns.
Alongside the symptomatic testing service, NHS Test and Trace is using rapid-testing
technologies for asymptomatic individuals and to improve our detection of positive cases.
Roughly one in three people who have the virus do not have symptoms and could
therefore be spreading the disease without knowing it.
Regular asymptomatic testing remains an important element in protecting the most
vulnerable in society from COVID-19; and LFDs are the most appropriate testing devices
to achieve this.
Exceptional Use Authorisation was granted for the use of Innova antigen-based self-swab
tests as it was critical to provide rapid asymptomatic testing to the population. This
authorisation was granted in the interest of preserving public health at a time when the
pool of LFD suppliers was limited, none had a CE mark for self-test and Innova had
passed the Government’s rigorous validation process.
The department will continue to work closely with the Medicines and Healthcare products
Regulatory Agency to ensure all testing available to the public is safe and effective.
I hope this reply is helpful.
LORD BETHEL
TWatcher why would you think anything would happen over August in the EU. Its basically shut for the holiday - France especially.
Happy Birthday. Turn off the BB and enjoy it
Sorry BH but you got to admit thats the best post today LOL.
Totally agree Girdz but far better discussion than constant moaning and bashing Colin.
Have a good day all. Great pickup in the last week. Long may it continue.

Possible takeover?
Gates may have opened his wallet?
That might not be such a bad thing - that would force our Government into getting off the pot. I'm sure we would see the Mergers & Monopoly Commission jump all over it. Lord Bethell would have more egg on his face.
I for one would take £5 per share.
You don't really need to say much in response to MrIndia - just filter him you know exactly what his post will say - exactly the same as last time " I'm so concerned "
Very simple JungleB - it's called having a memory!
If you were a proactive poster then you would read responses to your question and not post it again. I tend to remember what I post especially when I have an investment where I post.
That'll be the same question you asked on tge 27th !!!
Why are you asking that again?
