It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mrs Barker, on the second consecutive day.

I thank the hon. Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Danny Beales), who set out his case so well that I fear my contribution will add very little to his. Nevertheless, I want to add...

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mrs Barker, and I thank the Health and Social Care Committee for its work. It is a real privilege to be able to access vaccine programmes.

It also showed that uptake of the meningitis B booster for children aged two fell slightly last year. I find that especially alarming, given...
