Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what funding he has allocated to improving vaccination coverage as part of local winter pressure resilience plans developed for the 2014-15 winter period.
A total of £700 million of operational resilience funding was made available in 2014/15 to support cross-system resilience, with £640 million made directly available to System Resilience Groups (SRGs) through clinical commissioning groups. SRGs agreed locally how this money was to be spent.
