Question:
To ask the Minister of Health to detail his funding allocation of £175 million for personal protective equipment (PPE), including what is to be ordered and for how long a period the PPE is expected to cover his Department.

Answer:

Mass vaccination centres are operating between 8am and 8pm seven days a week. GP Practices are providing their vaccination programme in addition to their normal work commitments.

Experience has already taught us to expect temporary dips in vaccination

numbers although overall the uptake by the public remains very good.

The Covid-19 Vaccination Programme will take time to ensure it is implemented safely.
