Immunisation: Winter 2023-24

Debate between Lord Wigley and Lord Evans of Rainow

Wednesday 22nd February 2023 Lords Chamber

[Lord Evans of Rainow (Con)]

The noble Lord has mentioned digital connectivity several times in this place, and that is a very important part of how we can appeal to young people, along with working with education, schools and colleges. As I said in a reply a moment ago, when you visit a GP practice, you will be offered these treatments.

[Lord Wigley (PC)]

My Lords, given that health is a devolved matter, will the Minister give us some assurance that the information and data collected in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as in England, are on a consistent basis? If he is uncertain, could he link up with those respective Governments to ensure that that is the case?

[Lord Evans of Rainow (Con)]

The noble Lord asks a very important question. It is important that the quality of data throughout the United Kingdom is high. I will certainly look into that and feed back to the noble Lord.
