Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps with care home providers to develop guidance on how care home should operate as staff and residents receive covid-19 vaccination.
We are continuing to work closely with stakeholders, including NHS England, Public Health England, the Care Quality Commission and key social care sector partners to provide the most up-to-date advice, including on how care homes should manage infection prevention and control, use of personal protective equipment and visiting as staff and residents receive COVID-19 vaccinations.
