Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that all unpaid carers who meet the definition set out in the Covid-19 Greenbook Chapter 14a for vaccine priority under clinical need will be offered a vaccination in Group 6.
We have published bespoke guidance for unpaid carers set out in a Standard Operating Procedure, which has been co-produced with Carers UK, the Carers Trust, the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services and the Local Government Association, in order to help ensure that all eligible unpaid carers are offered a vaccine.
