Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the provision of Vitamin D supplements which ended on 21 February 2021 will be extended to people who have recently been added to the clinically vulnerable list.

There are no current plans to extend the registration period for free vitamin D supplements for those on the clinically extremely vulnerable list beyond the winter months. The longstanding Government advice is that between October and early March everyone is advised to take a supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D a day. The free vitamin D supplement scheme was introduced to benefit those asked to stay indoors more than usual over the spring and summer 2020 due to national restrictions.
