Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the importance of NHS staff having COVID-19 vaccinations; and what steps are they taking in response.
In response to public consultation, the Government has set out its view that COVID-19 vaccination requirements are important in protecting National Health Service staff, their colleagues and the patients they care for. The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) (Amendment) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2021 will implement vaccination as a condition of deployment for health and wider social care services.
