The 1st SI - Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) (Amendment) (Coronavirus) Regs 2021 – made Covid vaccination in effect mandatory for all those undertaking work activities in regulated care homes & has been in force since 11 Nov 2021. /2 hansardsociety.org.uk/blog/the-care-…
This SI was subject to damning Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee (SLSC) report for poor supporting docs & missing Impact Assessment. MPs like @Mark_J_Harper called asking MPs to OK it w/o such info an "abuse of the House" & in only 90-min SI debate "frankly offensive". /3
