First Registered: 24/09/2020 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

To provide a forum for parliamentarians and stakeholders to consider the needs of vulnerable groups to pandemics and to provide an effective voice in parliament; to raise awareness of specific vulnerable patients; to encourage actions to promote a greater priority for prevention, treatment and support for those groups; to inform better policy decisions and public debate related to the needs of vulnerable groups.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
