Free lateral flow tests face the ax under plans to live with Covid that Boris Johnson will announce within weeks.
More than £6 billion of public money has been spent on mass testing with the devices.
The new system could mean offering free tests only in high-risk settings such as nursing homes, hospitals, schools and people with symptoms. Contact tracing is also likely to be scaled back by the NHS Test and Trace.
A senior Whitehall source said, “I don’t think we’re in a world where we can continue to offer free lateral flow testing to everyone forever. We will probably move to a scenario where there is less testing but we have the potential to increase that scenario.
