Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what support is available to ensure that where a person is clinically vulnerable they are able to interact safely in public after the lifting of covid-19 restrictions on 19 July 2021.

Guidance for clinically extremely vulnerable individuals from 19 July was published on 12 July, outlining support that all clinically extremely vulnerable people can access, which is available at the following link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19

If a clinically extremely vulnerable individual has any concerns about their physical or mental wellbeing they should access the National Health Service website or contact their general practitioner practice or specialist who can provide them with nuanced and personalised support and advice on any additional precautions they should take.
