Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the effect of delays to postal deliveries as a result of sickness in the postal service workforce on people receiving their vaccination letters.
No specific assessment has been made.
Local vaccination services are for the most part using text messages or phone calls as the first approach. Follow up phone calls are also being made to those who have not responded to initial invitations.
