answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2022 answer text <p>The Department’s impact assessment estimates of the number of workers who may remain unvaccinated against COVID-19 at the end of the 12-week grace period and are not medically exempt. For National Health Service staff, this is estimated to be 4.9% or 73,000. However, the exact behavioural response to the regulations is uncertain and is dependent on the decisions of health and care workers. We continue to encourage unvaccinated staff to make the positive choice to be vaccinated. Since the Government’s consultation in September, the latest data shows an overall net increase of NHS trust healthcare workers vaccinated with a first dose of over 75,000.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 12/01/2022 16:22:38 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar previous answer version 42443 answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of providing permanent Medical Exemption Certificates to those with verified lifelong chronic conditions.
tabling member constituency	Sheffield, Brightside and Hillsborough
tabling member printed	Gill Furniss
uin	98366
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2022 answer text <p>No assessment has been made. We currently have no plans to expand the prescription charge medical exemption list to include all those with a verified lifelong condition or to provide those that currently qualify for a medical exemption with a permanent exemption. Medical exemption certificates are valid for a period of five years as although many of the conditions on the list are life-long, some can resolve over time and the patient’s entitlement should be reviewed by their clinician periodically.</p><p>For those ineligible for an exemption on medical grounds, arrangements are in place to assist with the affordability of National Health Service prescriptions, including exemptions for which people with life-long chronic conditions may already qualify. Approximately 89% of NHS prescription items are dispensed in the community free of charge. To support those who do not qualify for a medical exemption, the cost of prescriptions can be capped by purchasing a prescription pre-payment certificate, which can be paid for in instalments. A holder of a 12-month certificate can get all the prescriptions they need for just over £2 per week.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 12/01/2022 16:27:59 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar previous answer version 42110 answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
