To be fair yes that's true of LF tests, but some areas (mainly around London) did have a shortage of PCR tests at testing centres as well, and that can't be down to panic stockpiling. It can only be down to either genuinely more cases needing tested, or I guess some "panic testing" - people being more inclined to go for a PCR to "make sure" when they have very minimal symptoms and negative LF tests (and probably just have a sniffle). The ratio of positive/negative tests should show that if it's the case, though.
