The information within the response is incorrect in terms of the Omega situation, as they have never had their own test that they were putting through what is described here as Phase 2.
Just to be clear, they had been tasked to provide the UK government with the manufacturing capacity to make LFTs and the test to be made by Omega would be determined by the DHSC dependent on which tests were approved for manufacture – Omega’s manufacturing agreement was not based on them having their own test approved, they’re standing by to make whichever test is approved for DHSC procurement and deployment.
Kind regards,
