Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to meet with patient groups, charities and clinicians representing the #Forgotten500k campaign.

Ministers and officials regularly engage with charities and organisations which represent and support immunocompromised and immunosuppressed groups. The Enhanced Protection Programme stakeholder forum was held on 23 September 2022. The forum was chaired by Professor Dame Jenny Harries, the Chief Executive of UK Health Security Agency and attended by officials and charities and groups representing immunosuppressed patients. In addition, officials meet with individual charities representing these patients.
