question text	To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the statement by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation COVID-19 vaccination programme for 2023: JCVI interim advice, 8 November 2022, what estimate they have made of the number of vaccinations required to prevent a COVID-19 hospital admission for individuals in clinical risk groups, as outlined in the Green Book; and whether they will provide a link to Appendix A of this statement.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2023 answer text <p>The numbers needed to vaccinate (NNV) for the prevention of hospitalisation was calculated to consider the benefits of continued offers of primary vaccination, booster vaccination, the autumn booster and potential boosting in the spring of 2023, for example, for those newly entering a risk group. This calculation estimates the number of people in a particular group who would need to be vaccinated in order to prevent one hospitalisation. The lower the number, the more beneficial vaccination of that group would be.</p><p> </p><p>Strong age effects were seen, as well as large differences within adult ages, by clinical risk group. The oldest age groups and the older individuals in clinical risk groups had the lowest NNV for prevention of hospitalisation. There is also a trend for higher NNV for prevention of hospitalisation when moving from the primary to each booster dose.</p><p> </p><p>The spring 2023 booster is for immunosuppressed people at risk rather than all individuals in a clinical risk group.</p><p> </p><p>The results of NNV by age and clinical risk group are shown in Tables 3b and 4a of Appendix 1, which is attached.</p><p> </p><p>These cover all individuals in a risk group based on analysis of data including the national immunisation register. The NNV has not been broken down into separate clinical risk groups, as outlined in the Green Book.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 24/04/2023 14:45:48 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham attachment 1 file name Appendix 1_ estimation of number needed to vaccinate to prevent a COVID-19 hospitalisation.pdf title Appendix 1: NNV to prevent hospitalisation

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report by Policy Exchange Gender identity ideology in the NHS, published on 2 January; and what steps they are taking to ensure that every hospital trust is able to guarantee same-sex accommodation and intimate same-sex care.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2023 answer text <p>Under the NHS Constitution, National Health Service trusts have a responsibility to eliminate mixed-sex accommodation. It is imperative that NHS trusts respect the privacy and dignity of patients. Patients should not have to share sleeping accommodation with others of the opposite sex and should have access to segregated bathroom and toilet facilities. However, in some cases, operational pressures may lead to unjustified breaches of same-sex accommodation guidance. On the rare occasions that mixing does occur, the breach should be reported, and every effort should be made to remedy the breach immediately. NHS England is currently reviewing its guidance, Delivering same-sex accommodation, and a revised version will be published in due course.</p><p> </p><p>Patients can request same-sex intimate care, and it will be up to the care provider or clinician to respond based on the patient’s needs and staff availability. Due to staff availability, there may be instances when these requests cannot be immediately or easily met. The Department notes the Policy Exchange report Gender identity ideology in the NHS, and is considering whether clearer guidance is needed on the provision of same-sex staffing for patients receiving intimate care, given the importance of ensuring that patients’ privacy and dignity is respected.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham grouped question UIN HL6842 question first answered 25/04/2023 13:03:31 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
