PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Care Workers: Resignations (17 October 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether her Department is taking steps to (a) reinstate and (b) compensate the care staff who left their jobs due to the legal requirement for those staff to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

Asked by:
Esther McVey (Conservative)

Between 11 November 2021 and 15 March 2022, care homes were legally required to only deploy vaccinated or exempt staff. The matter of reinstating or compensating care staff who have been dismissed or resigned because of the regulations is a matter for individual employers.
