Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on the distribution of the covid-19 vaccine to people awaiting determination of their asylum, visa and immigration applications.
The Department for Health and Social Care took early steps to ensure diagnosis and treatment for COVID-19 is free for all, including anyone living in the UK without permission.
Distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine to people awaiting determination of their asylum, visa and immigration applications is therefore not a matter for the Home Office.
