Childhood Vaccinations Committee Actual start House of Lords

13:54 - 15:22
Speaker 1
Welcome to today's meeting.  This is the 17th oral evidence session as part of the committee's inquiry into childhood vaccination rates in England. 

Thank you to Caroline Temmink and Ian Perrin for attending as our witnesses today.  The session is open to the public.  It will be broadcast live and subsequently accessible on the parliamentary website.  A verbatim transcript will be taken of the evidence and that will also be published on the parliamentary website.  A few days after this session, our witnesses will be sent a copy of the transcript to check for accuracy and if there are any changes that need to be made, I would be most grateful if you could advise us of those corrections as quickly as possible. 

And if after this session you wish to clarify or amplify anything or send us additional material, we would be very grateful to receive it.  And when I ask the first question, I'd be grateful if each of you would just briefly introduce yourselves and your role in your organisation, if I may.  Thank you very much.  So the first question is, how much progress has been made against the 2023 NHS vaccination strategy?  How is progress measured and monitored? 

And what dedicated funding is available for the strategy and how does this compare to the costs saved by routine vaccination?
