Dear

Thank you very much for contacting me about your concerns regarding access to Covid-19 vaccination for Clinically Vulnerable people. Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to your email.

I am pleased to be able to confirm that the new Labour government is committed to strengthening our public health response and reducing health inequalities. Labour's recent commitments and statements have made clear that the principle of universal and fair access to vaccines particularly for those who are medically at-risk must be central to our national strategy.

In Parliament, Labour MPs have called for a rapid review of JCVI eligibility criteria and for the reinstatement of free Covid-19 vaccination for all Clinically Vulnerable people, in line with the existing approach to NHS flu vaccinations. Many have highlighted, as you do, that the logic and evidence for including all at-risk groups in annual booster rollouts are overwhelming, given the ongoing pandemic context and emergence of new variants.

Our party's manifesto commits to taking advice from clinicians and scientists and to working closely with NHS England to ensure that support for the most vulnerable is not withdrawn on cost grounds especially when this may lead to greater suffering and increased NHS pressure. There is widespread concern across Parliament about the risk of deepening health inequality and placing the cost burden of essential preventative care onto those least able to shoulder it.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your concerns so powerfully.

Best wishes,

Dr Beccy Cooper MP

I started to work on MscS-Like proteins 20 years ago, dreaming that they were involved in plant mechanotransduction. And it is becoming more & more clear that they are!

And consider intersectionality too: those who are also marginalised by disability, ethnicity, or other protected characteristics will be most penalised.

‘Motherhood penalty’ costs women an average £65,618 in pay by time first child turns five.

This is followed by gender pay gap, pension gap, health gap; slow career progression, harassment and violence, unpaid carer work, retirement insecurity.

All women deserve justice.

Random mutagenesis, targeted mutagenesis, and transgenesis breeding approaches and their differing regulations in Australia. Random mutagenesis and SDN-1 mutagenesis approaches are unregulated, whereas transgenesis involving the insertion of novel DNA, SDN-2 mutagenesis involving the use of a template to make small mutations, and SDN-3 mutagenesis involving the use of a template to make large insertions are regulated as GM in Australia.

Children must NEVER choose between EDUCATION and LIVES.

Both are human rights.
