Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if care home (a) employees and (b) volunteers are still required to be fully vaccinated against covid-19.
The Government announced its intention to revoke the regulations making vaccination a condition of deployment in health and all social care settings. Until the regulations are revoked, the legal requirements currently in force will continue to apply. Revoking vaccination as a condition of deployment is subject to consultation and parliamentary approval.
