answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2021 answer text <p>Covid-19 continues to present a unique set of challenges that we must address to maintain services in custody and the community. We are working very closely with public health authorities to ensure our approach is based on the best scientific advice available. We have well-developed policies and procedures in place to manage outbreaks and infectious diseases.</p><p>The National Framework for Prison Regimes and Services sets out how decisions on progression between the various Regime Stages are taken. Ministers set national parameters, but decisions on the most appropriate stage for each individual establishment are taken locally, based on a holistic assessment of data, and overseen by the operational prison command structure. The assessment includes information supplied by local NHS healthcare teams on vaccination coverage and known health conditions in the prison, alongside local risk factors such as age demographics, community prevalence and staffing levels. All decisions are supported by advice and guidance from Public Health England and Wales.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk question first answered 13/09/2021 10:20:48 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk

Employees are asked to provide updates onto the HMPPS HR system once they have had each dose of the vaccine. As the disclosure of their vaccine status is voluntary, it means the self-declaration rates presented below will very likely be lower than the actual number of staff who have been vaccinated. This data will help us understand staff vaccination take up and coverage, plan recovery and infection control measures, and inform recovery decisions.</p><p>Data for prisoner vaccinations has been provided by NHS England who are responsible for the vaccination programme. Please note that figures in relation to prisoner vaccinations change daily due to the level of activity in the vaccination programme across the estate and therefore can only be read as a snapshot on the day they were calculated.</p><p>Our <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-national-framework-for-prison-regimes-and-services" target="_blank">National Framework for Prison Regimes and Services</a> sets out how we will take decisions about easing restrictions in prisons. Prisons continue to progress through the Stages of the Framework, and vaccination coverage is an important part of the consideration about the necessary degree of restrictions.</p> answering member printed Lord Wolfson of Tredegar question first answered 24/06/2021 16:04:27 answering member 4901 label Biography information for Lord Wolfson of Tredegar
