Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his timetable is for the administering of flu jabs by the NHS to clinically vulnerable diabetic patients; and whether jabs for those patients will be prioritised over jabs for the general public.

General practitioners and other NHS service providers have been asked to prioritise flu vaccination for all those who are in the defined clinically vulnerable groups documented in the national guidance, including those with diabetes.

Vaccination of those who are in at risk groups has started and will continue in all areas in England through the winter months.
