Private suppliers of Rapid Antigen Tests have lashed out at the government's interference with their orders.

The government plans to increase the number of tests available to the public ahead of an Omicron surge, with almost 15 million rapid antigen tests due to arrive in the country over the next five weeks.

But it's being accused of claiming stock intended for the private sector, to make that happen.
