Thank you for the questions.

So, on the speed of the over-70s and the clinically extremely vulnerable, otherwise known as the shielded group of people, we're expecting to have offered all of those their vaccination by the middle of February. That is for them as opposed to the whole household. We have asked, and there have been a number of questions that have gone back to the JCVI around the space, including the question on unpaid carers. They'll continue to look at the evidence of how we can provide the greatest benefit in terms of avoiding harm and mortality. But I understand entirely the case that is made around unpaid carers. It is entirely possible we'll see some revised advice, because that's exactly what happened with special school staff who provide intimate care: we looked again. And they're analogous, essentially, to social care staff who provide intimate care as well. So, they will be prioritised within this first phase group, and so we will be looking to make sure that they receive offers of vaccination. It's a relatively discrete group of staff, and that is because their care is directly analogous with the care that you would expect some front-line health and care workers to provide.

I'll ask again with our chief medical officer about the questions we've gone back to the JCVI about, both questions, but my understanding is that, on unpaid carers, they'll come in in priority groups; they may be in a different priority and will get into the second phase. A number of those carers, if they fit into other categories in the first phase, will be vaccinated according to that category. We know that a number of unpaid carers are actually within the age profiles we're currently dealing with in phase 1, but not all of them will be. So, we're looking at whether there's a way to describe them in a way that people will understand, that the NHS will be able to meet and match, and provide the reassurance that I know that the Member is seeking, and quite rightly is asking on behalf of his constituents.
