Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has in place to ensure people who are not registered with a GP surgery get vaccinated against covid-19 as soon as possible.

In planning for the vaccine programme, NHS England and NHS Improvement have considered those who are not registered or who are unable to reach a general practitioner. The agreement under which general practices will deliver COVID-19 vaccinations - The General Practice COVID-19 vaccination programme 2020/21 Enhanced Service Specification - enables practices, working within their Primary Care Network (PCN) groupings, to vaccinate unregistered patients provided they are eligible for a vaccination.

General practices, working in PCNs, form just one part of the plan for delivering COVID-19 vaccinations. They will operate as part of a system of providers, ensuring best possible coverage of the population. Each PCN grouping is required to work with their local regional team to understand the current healthcare provision for vulnerable groups.

More than 730 vaccination sites have already been set up across the UK and hundreds more are opening this week, taking the total to over 1,000.
