Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the capacity required of the primary care and learning disability workforce to identify all people with a learning disability in vaccine priority groups and target appropriate support to them.

The Joint Committee on Vaccination Immunisation supports a practical approach of inviting everyone who is on the general practice Learning Disability Register for vaccination in cohort six. The National Health Service will work with local authorities to identify adults in residential and nursing care and those who require support, for example as part of assisted living in the community and those in shared accommodation with multiple occupancy.
