Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how personal assistants providing home social and/or health care for their clients who also employ them directly will be notified of their appointment to receive the covid-19 vaccine.
Local authorities and employers are working together to identify and instruct frontline social care workers that are eligible to receive the vaccine, including personal assistants as outlined in the Government’s recently published Standard Operating Procedure.
