I do not have a source that specifically indicates that they include rapid antigen test results in their official counts. I am assuming that they are included since they bother to collect them. See "What to do when you get your results" at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19-self-test-help

That section has a link to https://www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result which offers both online and telephone methods for reporting data. There is a link there that describes what the NHS does with your data, but it's mostly privacy-oriented rather than result-oriented.

federalism is good for some things, but data collection is not one of them.
