To ask the Minister of Health what new guidance will be set out for clinically extremely vulnerable people with regards to assessing risk in daily life and the workplace, now that restrictions have been lifted; and how this guidance will be communicated.

Answer:

Guidance for people who were identified as Clinically Extremely Vulnerable (CEV), has been kept under continual review by officials in my Department and updated in line with new and emerging scientific and medical evidence to ensure it remains proportionate and effective.
