Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what targeted support his Department is putting in place during stage 4 of the coronavirus roadmap from 19 July 2021 for people with serious underlying health conditions.

The shielding programme has now ended in England. People who were previously considered clinically extremely vulnerable will not be advised to shield or follow specific national guidance. The same guidance for the general population should now be followed.

Those who remain concerned should discuss any risks with their National Health Service clinician.
