“'We believe that safeguarding and increasing uptake for these programmes should be a priority for the Government and the NHS, especially in light of the risks we've seen in recent years from infectious diseases alongside falling rates of vaccination.'”

What Dr Julius Parker has said

  • “We're checking with NHS England as to why they have moved to changing the responsibility to PCN-wide. We know there is some wording in the new contract in terms of PCNs being responsible for ensuring that patients in care homes are offered vaccination, but that doesn't translate into being responsible for giving it. So this is a quite concerning change in the guidance.”

  • “The LMC fully understands this may create significant uncertainty, disruption and frustration. These changes create significant challenges for practices and for those responsible for organising flu vaccination delivery.”
