Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to ensure that all people who require vital health care support during the roll out of the covid-19 booster vaccination receive that support.

We have provided £2 billion this year and a further £8 billion across the following three years to increase activity and tackle backlogs in elective care. The National Health Service will maintain services wherever possible, particularly for urgent and cancer care.

General practitioners (GPs) have been asked to prioritise vaccinations and emergency care. However, patients are encouraged to contact their GP with concerns about their health, particularly for suspected cancer symptoms.
