Chris Seeks Clarity On How MPs Follow Constituents Vaccine Damage Claims
Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 14 March to Question 156040 on Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme, whether the same restriction applies to the letters of 3 February and 1 March from the Hon Member for Christchurch; and what steps he is taking to ensure that Rt Hon and Hon Members can monitor individual constituency claims made under the Vaccine Damage Payments Scheme.
Maria Caulfield The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) (Minister for Women)
The restrictions noted in response to Question 156040 do not always apply to letters from hon. Members. Where hon. Members have permission from their constituent to request further information about their claim, it may be possible to include personal data within a response to a letter. However, the Vaccine Damage Payments Scheme is administered by NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) and the hon. Member should contact NHSBSA directly, since the Department does not hold individual case information.
