Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that those who are shielding from COVID-19 receive the correct information for their specific condition to ensure that they are able to live safely throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

The National Health Service has asked service providers, including general practitioners, to undertake a series of actions to support people who have been asked to shield. This includes ensuring every shielding individual has a named care coordinator to help them with their healthcare and any changing or emerging health needs.
