To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish guidance on the right for patients to request being treated by vaccinated staff.
This question was answered on 9th February 2022
The NHS Constitution for England sets out the rights to which patients are entitled, which includes the right to be involved in decisions about their care and the right to be cared for in a clean, safe, secure and suitable environment. However, there is no specific entitlement for patients in National Health Service facilities to request they are treated by vaccinated staff.
