Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he had with clinical experts before changing the guidance for clinically extremely vulnerable people who are shielding from the covid-19 outbreak.
This question was answered on 18th June 2020
It is factually untrue to suggest that NHS England were not aware of the shielding guidance being updated. We have engaged extensively with partners and the healthcare system, including NHS England and NHS Digital, throughout this process and will continue to do so.
