answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2021 answer text <p>Virus Watch data, supported by NHS Test and Trace, provides information regarding patients’ antibodies and this includes immunocompromised patients as part of their cohort. The data suggests some protection against COVID-19, but is only one measure and does not look at cellular immunity which may be more important in terms of long-term immunity.</p><p> </p><p>Each antibody test will vary in its sensitivity and specificity and there is currently no agreed level of antibody which indicates someone is immune. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation will continue to review evidence on the use of vaccines in those with immunosuppression and will update its advice as necessary.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 21/06/2021 11:24:41 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

My right hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced that - assuming a Brexit deal is agreed over the next few weeks – he will launch the Spending Review (from 2020-21 to 2022-23) before the summer recess, to conclude alongside Budget in the autumn. The department has already begun work to be well prepared.</p><p>The government is committed to ensuring all disabled children and their families lead safe, fulfilling lives, and appreciates the ongoing work of the Disabled Children’s Partnership in this respect.</p><p>‘Working Together to Safeguard Children’ sets out how local authorities should provide effective, evidence-based services to protect and promote the welfare of children, including disabled children. The guidance was updated on 04 July 2018 and states that it is better to provide services addressing needs early, rather than reacting later. The statutory duty to provide short breaks, introduced in 2011, falls on local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 02/04/2019 16:03:53 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
