Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the reasons for regional delays in eligible individuals (1) being invited for an influenza vaccine at their GP practice, and (2) being able to book an influenza vaccine at a local pharmacy.

No assessment has been made as stock is ordered and managed locally by providers. General practitioner practices and local pharmacies manage appointment bookings according to their supply of stock.
