Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many and what proportion of people classed as clinically extremely vulnerable had registered for Government coronavirus support for the clinically extremely vulnerable as of 13 May 2020.

341,463 clinically extremely vulnerable individuals had registered to request support with food and/or basic care as at 13 May 2020, using either the website https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus-extremely-vulnerable or dedicated call center helpline. Everyone who has requested support with food has had their data passed to supermarkets for access to priority delivery slots. There are around 2.2 million clinically extremely vulnerable individuals in England, and the vast majority of those registering their needs do not request support.
