Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that local authorities and hospitals have the resources they need to effectively support covid-19 vaccine rollout programme.

We have recruited and mobilised an 80,000 strong vaccination workforce and establishedthree delivery models for the programme: community teams, vaccination sites and hospital hubs.

We have ensured that we have the logistical expertise, transportation, workforce guidance and equipment in place, as well as the supporting infrastructure required, including warehousing to deploy the vaccine according to clinical priority.
