answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2022 answer text <p>On 15 June 2021 the House of Lords Commission, as part of its consideration of the post-hybrid operating arrangements for the Chamber and Grand Committee, agreed that a model should be developed to allow a small number of members with long-term disabilities to continue to participate virtually. The Procedure and Privileges Committee subsequently affirmed, in its First Report of the current session (HL Paper 41), “The contribution disabled members make to the House’s debates and decisions is integral to the work of the House.” Standing Order 24A was agreed by the House on 13 July 2021 to enable those who may be unable physically to access the Chamber on grounds of long-term disability to participate virtually. The Standing Order, which was drawn up following consultation with disabled members, is not time limited.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 15/03/2022 17:10:06 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of declining immunity to COVID-19 in the population; and what steps they are taking to continue vaccination against COVID-19 in response to any such assessment.
tabling member printed	Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
uin	HL6844
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2022 answer text <p>The UK Health Security Agency regularly reviews data on vaccine effectiveness, including declining immunity to COVID-19. Recent data suggests that vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic disease with the Omicron variant is substantially lower than against the Delta variant, with rapid waning of immunity over time. However, protection against hospitalisation remains high, particularly after three doses. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) continues to review the data and will advise the Government if they observe indications in the data of changes that could be addressed by adjustments to the COVID-19 vaccination programme.</p><p>The COVID-19 vaccination programme has agreed three key priorities: continued access to first, second and booster or third doses; delivery of an autumn COVID-19 vaccination campaign if advised by the JCVI; and development of detailed contingency plans to rapidly increase capacity, if required. The National Health Service continues to campaign to encourage people to come forward for COVID-19 vaccinations, particularly targeting those sections of community where we know there has been low take up for example in pregnant women and some ethnic groups.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 15/03/2022 17:33:05 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2022 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) encourages the research community to submit high quality proposals.

Assessment committees comprise individuals with a broad range of expertise due to the wide diversity of topics it reviews, which may include brain tumour experts. However, committees ensure that before an individual application is assessed, detailed written peer review reports from experts chosen for their specific expertise are considered.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 15/03/2022 17:21:09 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall
