The budget to be devoted to self-tests could well slow down their repetitive use in schools. Only BIM beneficiaries are entitled to a reduced rate, namely one euro per self-test, at the rate of two per week per member of the household. But even for them, one euro per week and per child, the budget can quickly climb.
Solidaris, Test Achats, the Family League and the Federation of Parents’ Associations of Official Education therefore call on the government to reconsider its decision not to extend the reimbursement conditions for these screening tests to the entire population and to regulate prices. At a minimum, organizations are calling on the government to act to lower the prices of self-tests. For example, in France, where a maximum price of 5.2 euros has been set, we can already find self-tests at 1.2 euros per part, underlines Test Achats.
►► On the side of the Minister of Health, the position does not change: it is not up to the federal government to pay schools for tests.
We then turned to the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, and more particularly to its Minister of Health, Bénédicte Linard. Which clearly disagrees.
