From YouTube: Facebook Live COVID-19 Special with Leader of BCP Council, Cllr Drew Mellor - 6 January 2021
Description
Hear from the Leader of BCP Council, Cllr Drew Mellor as he answers your questions and provides a local update relating to COVID-19.
Aired on Facebook on 6 January 2021 at 1pm.
A
Welcome
to
our
facebook
live
session,
which
is
a
q
a
on
on
covid,
my
name
is
drew
meller
and
I'm
the
leader
of
bcp
council.
This
is
our
first.
Facebook
live
session
of
the
new
year.
So
can
I
wish
every
anyone
watching
this
or
catching
up
with
us
later,
a
very
happy
new
year?
And
thank
you
for
thank
you
for
joining
us.
You
may
well
notice.
This
is
quite
a
different
setup
to
how
we've
been
doing
these
recently.
A
We
usually
meet
in
one
of
our
civic
offices,
and
there
are
two
members
of
of
cabinet
to
to
answer
questions.
What
we've
done
today
is
is
that
you
I'm
doing
it
from
home,
because
in
terms
of
the
new
regulations,
we
thought
it
was
inappropriate
to
put
two
people
together.
So
so
just
got
me
today.
What
I'll
do?
A
First,
if
I
may,
is
a
very
brief
update
in
terms
of
you
know
where
we
are
with
covid:
we've,
obviously
we're
now
in
the
the
third
national
lockdown
and
it's
worth
making
the
differentiation.
This
isn't
just
a
step
up
in
tears.
This
is
a
this
is
a
material
and
third
national
national
lockdown.
The
reason
for
that
is
that
the
numbers-
you
know
our
case
rates
and
affected
rates
are
going
up
quite
severely,
not
just
here
and
across
the
country.
A
A
I
think,
there's
an
element
that
it's
very
much
down
to
the
new
strain
which
we,
which
we
believe
is
in
bcp
and
that's
important,
because
that
strain
moves
forward,
much
quicker,
you're,
not
just
hearing
that
from
me,
that's
been,
you
know
widely
reported,
it's
50
to
70
percent,
more
transmissible
and
we've
never
seen
rates
go
up
like
we
have
done
before.
So
we're
repeating
the
message
about
hands,
face
hand,
space
and
space,
but
you
know
we've
got
to
do
more
than
that.
It's
it's
transmission,
often,
okay,
fine!
So
I'll!
A
Look
for
some
some
questions
to
come
up,
which
would
be
great
while
I'm
waiting
for
those
to
to
come.
I
will
give
a
little
bit
of
an
introduction
in
terms
of
what
the
advice
is
at
the
moment
so
effectively.
What
a
national
lockdown
means
is.
You
must
not
leave
or
be
outside
of
your
home,
except
when
necessary.
That's
for
national
guidance.
A
The
last
thing
I'll
just
raise
is
the
fact,
if
you're
clinically
extremely
vulnerable,
you
should
only
go
out
for
medical
appointments
or
exercise
if
it's
essential
and
you
should
not
attend
work,
school
college
or
unit
university,
okay,
fine!
So
so,
hopefully,
that's
a
useful,
useful
update.
I
will
now
go
to
some
some
of
the
questions.
A
Susan
lennon's
lennon's
asked:
are
we
in
a
full
lockdown
now
and
are
we
going
to
accommodate
the
homeless,
who
want
to
be
housed?
Susan?
Yes,
I've
just
I've
just
it's
reiterated
that
we
are
in
a
fall.
We
are
in
a
full
lockdown
and
effectively
nothing's
changed
in
terms
of
opposition
with
homeless
since
march,
so
every
homeless
person
has
an
offer
of
accommodation,
so
any
homeless
person
who,
who
wants
it,
who
wants
to
be
brought
indoors,
will
be
additionally
to
that.
A
One
of
the
really
important
things
is
that
what
we've
been
doing
since
march
and
some
great
work
has
been
going
on,
is
when,
when
homeless
people
are
in,
we
can,
we
can
really
interact
with
them
and
try
and
try
and
support
them.
So,
thanks
for
your
question,
susan
okay,
yeah
so
mike
mike,
has
asked
a
question
in
terms
of
the
high
street
suffering.
What's
about
supplying
post-covered
support
to
new
businesses
looking
to
open
on
the
high
street
yeah
mike?
That's
that's
a
really.
You
know
really
strong
question.
A
It's
a
point
to
reiterate:
is
those
messages
are
never
more
important
hands
facebook
when
we
are
out,
but
what
is
really
important
in
that
is:
that's
not
actually
enough.
You
know
this
is
transmission
much
much
quicker
than
it
has
done
before.
So,
although
you
know
that
message
is
valid
and
needs
to
be
reinforced,
it's
not
you
know,
we
can't
rely
on
it
as
much
as
we
as
much
as
we
did.
A
Okay,
let's
look
for
some
extra
questions.
Yeah,
so
nick
finnell's
asked
an
interesting
question.
Government
guidance
is
talking
for
schools
to
be
open
for
children
of
at
least
one
parent
of
a
critical
worker
yeah,
and
this
is
really
important.
Nick
and
it's
something
we've
been
discussing
discussing
this
morning,
we
we've
had
guidance
from
government,
clear
guidance
from
government
that
it's
only
one
parent
needs
to
be
critical
worker
and
then
that
person
is
entitled
to
a
place
in
school.
A
You
know
about
this
situation
at
the
same
time
as
we
did
so
what
we've
been
able
to
do
has
been
phenomenal
and
as
we
work
through
the
system
and
update
the
guidance
with
that
key
worker
piece,
you
know
it's
been
clearly
laid
down
to
us
that
it
is
for
one
parent
of
a
critic:
a
critical
worker-
okay,
yes,
fine,
so
an
interesting
question,
lorraine,
holland.
You
know-
and
I
think
this
is
really
important
as
well.
A
Lorraine's,
a
retired
nurse
and
she's
offered
her
services
with
the
role
of
vaccinations,
and
you
know
there's
two
things
in
this.
I
think
there's
been
quite
a
clear
frustration
through
retired
medical
professionals
and
other
practitioners
who
can
help,
but
they
haven't,
you
know
either
been
able
to
immediately
assist
in
the
vaccinations
or
they've
been
put
off
by
immense
paperwork.
I
was
on
a
call
with
the
mhclg
ministry
of
housing,
communities
and
local
government
over
the
weekend,
and
we
made
it
really
clear
to
them
that
we
want
those.
A
You
know
guide
us
relaxed.
This
is
a
time
of
emergency
and
we
need
to
take
help,
but
we
can
we
can
help,
we
can
get
it
and
we
had
some
assurance
on
that
from
the
minister
that
they
will
be
we'll
be
doing
that
so
lorraine,
I'm
hoping
the
process
will
become
clearer.
That
does
lead
me
on
to
other
people
who
might
want
to
volunteer
to
support
the
vaccination
roll-up
program.
You
don't
need
to
be
a
medical
professional,
it's
not
just
people
giving
actually
injections
that
can
help.
A
A
So
if
anybody
would
like
to,
you
know
volunteer
to
support
that
program,
you
can
do
it
by
going
to
can100.org
so
can
100.org
and
register
there
effectively.
The
vaccine
program
will
be
seven
days
a
week
running
from
eight
in
the
morning
till
eight
in
the
evening,
and
I
believe
you
need
to
commit
to
30
hours
over
that
over
a
three
month
period.
It
might
be
24
hours
but
effectively.
There
is
a
commitment,
but
it's
over
a
three-month
period,
so
it
could
be,
you
know,
light
touch
and
any
help.
A
We
can
get
a
lot
of
that's
marshalling.
So
it's
it's
telling
people
where
to
go
when
they
come
in
and
you
know
getting
people
comfortable
effectively.
But
this
is
a
huge
logistical
exercise
and
any
help
is
is
really
appreciated.
What
we're
doing
with
the
council
is
working
out
where
we
can
take
people
in
out
of
some
services
and
also
support
that
program.
A
So
hopefully
you
know
this
is
something
we
can
all
get
behind
and
and
ultimately
this
is
going
to
be
the
solution
of
how
we
get
out
of
this
okay,
yes,
belinda
price
has
asked
a
question
about.
Are
we
entitled
to
grants
because
our
shop
has
to
close?
Please?
Yes,
belinda,
so
any
rate
of
all
premises.
You
know
he's
able
to
sorry
you're
paying
business
rates.
You
would
be
entitled.
A
A
Even
businesses,
who
aren't
having
regular
premises
that
have
effectively
had
to
close
can
apply
for
what's
called
an
a
different
asg
grant
a
arsg
grant
which
we're
also
putting
out
so
what's
key
to
say
there
is,
if
you've
already
applied,
you
don't
need
to
keep
applying
because
the
money
will
keep
keep
coming
to
you.
So
so,
hopefully,
it's
a
monthly
payment
and
that's
useful
okay.
So
thanks
very
much
for
that
question,
belinda!
A
So
right,
I
don't
want
to
get
too
much
into
exactly
the
hospital
piece,
because
that's
because
that's
the
nhs
very
good,
so
I've
got
questions
about
student
nurses
going
on
placements.
Jordan
join
this
lockdown
again
again,
that's
you
know,
that's
a
that's
an
nhs
piece
as
well
as
a
vaccine
vaccine
rollout.
So
we're
not
going
to
comment
on
comment
on
that
kerry.
Rosen's
asked
a
question
about
support
would
still
be
supporting
a
charitable
group
outside
they've
been
referred
to
our
charity
of
our
professionals,
mental
health,
domestic
violence,
etc.
A
Can
I
ask
how
to
make
this
known
to
the
public
when
we
meet
social
difference,
mass,
etc?
I
think
this
is
a.
This
is
an
interesting
question
for
two
points.
A
lot
of
groups
are,
you
know
we
aren't
able
to
meet
whether
that's
for
recreational
reasons
or
or
supporting
you
know
reasons,
and
these
restrictions
do
allow
for
small
groups
of
people
in
specific
certain
circumstances.
So
you
know
mental
health
and
drug
and
alcohol
dependency
groups.
A
A
A
It
works
really
well
in
with
smaller
numbers
and
with
these
numbers
now
we're
getting
you
know,
and-
and
this
is
you
know,
when
you're
getting
to
a
stage
of
saying
in
england,
one
person
in
50
that
you
know
has
covered
last
week
effectively,
so
it
puts
significant
pressure
on
that.
So,
although
that
system
is
fundamentally
important,
you
know
there's
an
element
that
we
just
need
to
stay
at
home.
You
know
this
is
this
is
where
we
we
absolutely
need
to
need
to
stay
at
home.
A
A
Tony
yeah
good
question
again
of
talking
about
how
to
apply
for
for
the
business
grant.
Colleagues
will
put
forward
on
here.
You
know
it's
an
elongated
website
effectively,
but
colleagues
will
put
on
here
how
you
can
apply
to
that
and
there's
there's
two
there's
a
local
restriction,
support
grant
which
gives
money
to
people
who
have
had
premises
that
are
closed
and
then
there's
the
alternative
support.
Grant.
We've
got.
We've
done
two
things
on
the
alternative
grant
tony.
A
The
first
is
to
allow
money
for
people
who
don't
have
premises
and
have
been
forced
to
close.
The
second
tranche
was
for
specific
sectors,
so
it
was
a
nighttime
economy.
Hospitality
aviation
got
a
strong
aviation
sector.
That's
had
a
significant
impact
here
and
they're
live
now,
so
colleagues
will
put
forward
under
here
where
you
can
access
them
any
problems
that
tell
you
please,
please
find
my
email
address
and
come
to
me
directly
yeah,
so
graham
tufflin,
hello,
hello,
graham
good
to
see
you.
A
Is
it
a
legal
requirement
for
shops
and
businesses
not
to
serve
when
shoppers
are
not
wearing
face
coverings?
Thanks
thanks
for
the
question,
there
are
exemptions.
You
know
there
are
some
exemptions
in
terms
of
wearing
when
faced
whether
some
people
are
able
to
wear
face
coverings.
I
think
this
is
it's.
It's
fundamentally
hugely
important
that
we
all
step
up
to
the
plate
and
hear
the
messages
that
are
coming
through.
We
have
got
548
people
out
of
every
100k.
You
know
testing
positive.
A
When
leicester
had
their
initial
lockdown,
the
figure
was
40
and
they
were
putting
in
a
low-cost
lockdown,
because
you
know-
and
we
are,
you
know
significantly
more
than
10
times
that
now
so
everything
we
do.
We
need
to
reinforce
the
fact
that
if
we
are
going
out-
and
we
shouldn't
be-
if
we
can-
if,
if
it's
not
part
of
the
reasons,
but
we
need
to
be
wearing,
face,
masks
and
keeping
keeping
distance.
So
no
it's
not
a
legal
requirement
for
shops
and
businesses
not
to
serve.
A
Okay,
david
has
asked
a
question
about
litter
and
fly
tipping
on
on
the
bourne
estate.
So
it's
not
a
cover-related
question,
but
it's
it's
absolutely
fine
to
ask
some
questions
aren't
ready
to
covered
here,
we're
focusing
on
that
and
david.
All,
I
can
say
is
you
when
we
came
into
administration
on
the
1st
of
october,
we
immediately
put
forward
a
we
called
it
a
pride
agenda,
so
it's
about
cleaner
and
safer
and
last
night
at
council.
We
we
we
put
a
lot
more.
A
We
signed
off
a
significant
investment
in
exactly
that
in
terms
of
you,
know,
litter
and
fly
tipping
and
we're
we're
working
to
do
to
do
more
on
that.
As
of
now
I'll,
take
your
your
concern
about
the
bourne
estate,
particularly
and
I'll,
pass
it
on
to
colleagues,
but
you
know
it
is
our
ambition
and
it's
our
promise
that
this
you
know
born
of
christchurch
and
paul,
will
feel
cleaner
and
safer,
and
you
know
very
very
shortly
and
we're
going
to
work.
You
know
really
tirelessly
to
get
that.
A
A
A
Now,
rather
than
shielding-
and
I
know,
guidance
is
going
out
from
government
to
to
that
group
in
in
the
next
few
days-
we're
also
contacting
all
of
our
click
clinically
extremely
vulnerable
to
see
what
help
they
need,
so
help
will
be
stepped
up
again
al
yes,
you
know
your
question,
there's
been
less.
Support
is
needed.
Now
in
that
group
than
was
was
in
march.
I
think
you
know
it's
very
supermarkets
have
got
much
better
in
terms
of
food,
food
delivery,
etcetera.
A
A
You
know,
please
let
us
know,
and
particularly
in
relation
to
people
who
are
clinically
extremely
vulnerable,
yeah
julia
jones
you're,
asking
about
you,
know
the
vaccination
and
military
getting
involved.
These
discussions
have
been
had.
You
know
at
much
senior
places
than
myself
and
bcp
council,
and
my
personal
opinion
is
that
we
really
need
to
you
know:
do
anything
we
can
to
move
his
vaccination
piece
forward.
This
is
going
to
be
the
answer.
You
know.
The
prime
minister
today
said
what's
different
about
this.
Lockdown
is
this?
A
Is
the
sprint
part,
not
the
marathon?
We
need
to
sprint
to
get
the
vaccinations
done,
so
we've
got
to
use,
anything
are
disposable
to
get
it.
We
are
supporting
the
nhs
bcb
council
is
supporting
the
nhs,
but
it's
an
nhs
program
at
the
moment.
So
there's
only
so
much
we
can
do.
We
are
making
those
messages
to
to
to
government-
and
I
know
particularly
tobias
elwood.
One
of
our
five
mps
in
pcp
is
making
that
message
loud
loud
and
clear.
A
Yeah
so
sophie's
important
point:
you
know
the
businesses
that
have
been
directly
linked
to
businesses
are
directly
impacted.
So,
for
instance,
you
know
the
hospitality
sector
is
impacted,
so
wholesalers
will
be
will
be
impacted.
We
are,
we
are
looking
to
step
up.
You
know
the
the
discretionary
grant
schemes
to
to
support
businesses
across
the
board
and
particularly
businesses
that
haven't
been
supported
in
previously.
So
if
there's
anything
you
know
specifically
about
that,
we
don't
think
our
current
grant
schemes
are
are
supported
in.
A
We
genuinely
would
like
to
know
about
it.
We
don't
want
anybody
to
fall
through
the
cracks.
So
please
please
contact
me
in
the
first
instance,
if
you
once
you've
looked
at
our
grant
schemes,
which
we
feel
now
address
a
lot
more
of
those
businesses
that
fell
through
the
the
cracks
historically,
please
please
contact
us
because
we'd
like
to
know
about
it.
A
Okay,
so
john
john
steering
said
I
don't
fancy
answering
question
I
haven't,
haven't
I
apologize,
I
haven't
actually
seen
it
so,
if
you'd
like
to
watch
it,
can
I
try
to
try
and
get
to
it.
Thank
you.
I
can't
answer
every
question
and
but
do
try
and
answer
as
many
as
we
can
yeah
so
alison
said
about,
will
shops
go
back
to
stopping
groups
of
families
in
shops
and
the
guidance
is
really
clear.
You
know.
A
Shopping
is
only
for
essential
items,
it's
not
for
it's
not
for
a
family
trip,
so
most
shops
and
supermarkets
are
now
being
really
clear
about
saying
only
one
person
coming
in,
or
at
least
one
adult
effectively
coming
in,
and
I
just
you
know
I
just
make
a
plea
to
to
anybody
watching
this
or
listening
to
this
we've
got
to
support
these
our
safe
markets
in
our
shops.
You
know
they
are
essential
services,
they're
doing
amazing
work
for
us
and
they
are
you
know.
Often
you
know
not
the
most
well
paid.
A
A
Yeah,
fine
eli,
yeah,
good
question
about
skateparks,
etc.
I'll
look
into
that.
I'm
not
entirely
sure
of
the
answer,
because
I
I'm
I
you
know
I've
been
told
that
we
have
to
close
skate
parks.
If
we
don't,
if
we
don't
actually
have
to,
I
will
take
that
up.
Personally,
I
think
your
employment
government
guidance
is
we
don't
have
to.
We
can
turn
that
around
really
quickly.
If
it
is
the
case
at
the
moment,
skate
parks
are
closed.
A
A
You
know,
causes
an
issue
that
said:
playgrounds
effectively
are
open,
so
you
can
take
children
so
there's
a
there
is
a
some
work
to
be
done
in
terms
of
understanding
that
so
just
to
be
clear,
my
understanding
in
terms
of
our
local
understanding
of
these
skate
parks
need
to
be
closed.
If
they
don't
and
we
I'll
check
the
government
guidance
myself,
we
will.
We
will
turn
around
and
put
a
message
out
on
that
basis.
A
So
if
you
don't
mind
I'll,
just
I'll
just
touch
on
that,
because
I
think
there's
been
a
little
bit
of
don't
use
the
frequency
but
effectively
in
terms
of
what
support
bubble
is
so
you
can
form
a
support
bubble
with
another
household
of
any
size.
If
you
live
by
yourself,
you
are
the
only
adult
in
your
house
who
does
not
need
continuous
care
as
a
result
of
a
disability.
A
Your
household
includes
a
child
who
is
under
the
age
of
one
or
was
under
that
age.
On
the
second
of
december
2020.,
your
household
includes
a
child
with
a
disability
who
requires
continuous
care
and
is
under
the
age
of
five,
and
if
you
were
16
or
17
living
with
others
at
the
same
of
the
same
age,
without
any
adults.
So
so
they
are
quite
restrictive
in
terms
of
who
can
form
a
support
bubble.
Matt.
Thank
you.
You
say
your
support.
Publish
is
your
daughter's
household,
which
is
great.
A
Can
she
still
stay
here
at
weekends?
Yes,
so
support
bubbles
are
allowed
to
stay
a
stay
overnight
at
each
other's
houses.
You
can't
change
your
support
bubble,
but
you
can
have
a
support
bubble
under
those
criteria,
and
can
I
also
go
to
my
disabled
mum,
mum's
house
effectively,
so
you're.
It
would
depend
to
some
extent
whether
whether
your
your
mum
lives
alone.
A
If
your
mom
lives
alone,
then
she
can
form
a
a
support
bubble,
but
then
you've
already
got
one
support
bubble,
so
you
wouldn't
effectively
remember
be
able
to
have
a
support
bubble
with
your
mum,
so
you'd
have
to
make
a
choice
about
which
support
bubble
you
wanted
to
you
wanted
to.
You
wanted
to
be
in.
A
Thank
you
and
you
can't
change
your
support
bubbles
regularly,
and
it's
also
worth
noting
you
know:
you're,
not
if
you've
got
a
childcare
bubble
and
a
support
bubble,
you're,
not
supposed
to
see
your
childcare
bubble
and
your
support
bubble
at
the
same
time.
So
it's
only
one
bubble
and
one
bubble
at
a
time.
A
David
king,
you
said
your
business
works
from
home,
that's
not
rotable.
Can
I
get
a
grind?
Yes?
Yes,
yes,
you
can
you
couldn't
from
the
government
scheme
the
local
resilient
support
grant
the
first
scheme
factors
about
rateable
businesses.
When
we
had
a
discretionary
scheme,
we
had
some
money
from
government
to
put
forth
a
discretionary
scheme.
We
were
clear
in
the
in
the
early
stages
of
that,
but
even
and
it
was
actually
the
first
tranche
of
that
scheme.
A
Even
if
businesses
didn't
have
regional
values,
they
were
still
able
to
apply
for
a
for
a
grant.
So
again,
people
would
put
forward
colleagues
would
put
forward
in
this
chat
bar
how
to
access
the
the
grant
schemes,
but
you
will
be
able
to
apply
for
our
discretionary
discretionary
grant
scheme.
There
are
certain
restrictions
to
it,
but,
but
you
know
it's
not
just
a
race
or
value
grant
anymore.
A
A
Okay,
claire
taylor,
interesting
yeah,
so
it's
not
covered
again
again,
but
it
is
something
that's
that's
been
talking
about
a
lot
about,
so
why
did
bcp
council
plan
to
cut
approximately
600
jobs
when
so
many
people
in
bournemouth,
christchurch
and
paul
are
out
of
work
and
struggling
and
struggling
to
survive?
So
claire,
there's
there's
a
few
elements
to
this
question,
so
we
put
through
put
together
three
councils
born
of
christchurch
and
poland
we're
now
one
of
the
largest
councils
in
the
country.
A
One
of
the
reasons
to
do
that
was
to
was
to
effectively
save
money
and
we've
been
through
a
period
of
ten
years,
where
we've
been
making
significant
cuts
and
cuts
and
cuts
to
services,
and
very
little
of
it,
isn't
you
know
essential
services?
Are
we
providing
anymore
one
of
them?
You
know
one
of
the
the
benefits
of
putting
these
councils
together
is
we
have
a
it's
called
a
transformation
plan?
What
we
believe
can
save
50
million
pounds
a
year
every
year.
A
That's
really
important.
One
percent
on
council
tax
is
2
million
pounds,
so
50
million
pounds
every
year
is
fundamental.
So
by
by
making
efficiencies
and
economies
of
scale
in
putting
this
organization
together
becoming
a
more
modern
and
vibrant
council,
we
will
then
be
able
to
stop
making
cuts
and
start
putting
more
money
into
frontline
services
so
start
in
turning
your
time
start
investing
in
what
we
want
to
be
doing
again
and
you're
going
to
see
some
of
that
in
our
budget,
which
we,
which
becomes
live
two
weeks
on
friday.
A
So
by
saving
50
million
pounds
a
year
every
year,
we
will
be
able
to
stop
rising
counter
stats
as
much
as
it
has
been
going
up
over
time
and
we
will
be
able
to
invest
more
in
frontline
services
and
other
priorities.
So
it's
a
very.
There
is
a
reason
to
it,
but
we're
obviously
working
through
with
staff
and-
and
it
will
take
a
period
of
time
to
get
to
that,
to
that
number
of
job
savings,
okay,
loads
of
questions,
and
I'm
you
know
seriously
in
terms
of
answering
them.
A
A
Welcome
to
contact
me
at
my
council
address:
okay,
fine,
so
yeah,
fine,
hazel
we've
talked
about
supermarkets
I'll,
try
and
find
a
different
different
questions
scanning
through
now
yeah
I've
talked
a
lot
about
grants,
so
I
won't
come
back
on
to
that
yeah.
Fine.
Let
me
talk
about
something
isn't
about
grants.
A
Yeah
wendy
hill's,
you
know
just
sort
of
reiterating
you
know
working
the
supermarket
and
she
asked
one
person
for
household,
but
if
you're
a
single
parent,
you
can't
leave
children
there
on
your
own.
So
if
you
can
come
in
with
them,
but
it's
the
key
is
one
adult
or
as
few
as
few
people
as
possible,
there
yeah
but
belinda.
Thank
you
very
much,
for
this
is
really
interesting
question.
Actually,
so
one
of
the
great
things
about
the
this
whole
period
you
know
has
been
our
volunteer
call.
A
You
know
the
amount
of
people
that
really
engaged
you
know
from
the
community
because
we
want
to
help
people
belinda,
says
she's
at
home,
shielding
and
she's
in
the
clinically
extremely
vulnerable
category.
Is
there
anything
I
can
do
to
help
any
anyone
you
know
effectively,
which
is
great,
isn't
it
you
know
for
sure
belinda?
Yes,
so
so
we've
got
a
program
called
together.
We
can.
There
are
many
ways
of
volunteering
through
that
and
you'll
be
able
to
find.
A
You
know
google
together,
we
can,
but
also
you
look
for
it
on
our
website,
and
people
can
register
to
volunteer
many
ways
of
helping
a
lot
of,
and
there
are
other
schemes
where
it's
a
loneliness
has
been.
An
isolation,
has
been
a
massive
issue
where
people
are
bubbling
up
effectively
and
and
calling
people
on
a
regular
basis
and
that's
making
a
real
difference.
So
even
people
at
home
can
volunteer
first
place
is
together.
We
can
so
belinda.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
offer.
A
Nick
nick
finnemore
a
question
about
vaccine
master
vaccine
centers,
you
know
planned
at
bic
just
reiterated.
So
this
is
a
a
national
health
case.
We've
got
a
number
of
vaccine
centers
opening
up
this
isn't.
This
has
now
been
able
to
come
forward
at
more
pace,
since
the
oxford
vaccine
was
what
was
live
because
you
were
able
to
put
those
vaccines
in
places.
You
know
like
little
down
et
cetera
and
and
a
number
of
those
are
opening
up
really
key
point
to
make
about
the
vaccine.
A
It
is
relevant
about
where
we're
opening
up.
Of
course,
multiple
sites
are
opening
up
lots
happening
through
gp
practices
and
and
primary
care
at
the
moment.
What
is
important
and
nhs
need
us
to
say
is.
We
will
be
contacted
when
it
is
our
our
turn
in
terms
of
vaccines.
So
please
don't
contact
the
the
nhs
they
will
contact,
they
will
contact
you.
I
just
run
through
briefly
before
we
finish
the
the
priority
groups
for
for
vaccinations.
A
So
the
first
you
know
group
is
care
home
residents
and
their
staff,
and
second,
is
those
who
are
80
years
and
and
over
of
age
and
frontline
health.
The
third
group
is
those
over
75
and
then
the
you've
got
this
the
over
70s
and
the
the
people
with
health
conditions
effectively
so
yeah,
and
I
think
most
of
us
would
have
been
watching
the
prime
minister
there's
a
we
want
to
get
through.
A
Most
of
the
of
that,
you
know
sort
of
the
clinically
most
vulnerable
in
terms
of
age
and
and
other
conditions
by
the
middle
of
february,
and
that's
why
the
prime
minister's
calling
is
a
sprint
we're
trying
to
get
everything
done
to
get
there.
We've
done
more
vaccines
than
anybody
else
in
in
europe
at
the
moment.
A
We're
sorry
all
of
europe
put
together
because
we
got
there
quicker
now
we
need
to
really
push
forward
and
you
know
we're
actually,
third
in
the
world
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
vaccines
we've
given
out,
but
we
need
to
keep
that
pressure
on
and
move
forward,
because
that's
our
out
here:
okay,
fine,
okay,
we
we're
actually
now
at
half
past
one
we've
just
had
a
first
question
in
terms
of
school
vouchers
and
school
support.
Effectively
we
haven't
touched
on
that.
A
So
please
I'll
just
I
just
will
answer
caroline
hall's
question.
Why
no
school
vouchers
school
has
told
me
you've
told
him
to
issue
hampers
instead,
okay.
So
since
the
first
scheme,
we've
worked
with
schools
and
partners
and
and
actually
worked
out.
What
actually
is
has
been
most
useful
and
you
know,
and
and
we've
gone
with
that
advice
effectively.
A
It's
the
important
point
to
make
here
is
that
we,
as
a
council
committed
for
children,
half-time
pre-christmas
at
christmas
at
easter,
would
be
supported
and
we're
doing
that
and
we've
done
that.
So
I
literally
thank
all
of
our
staff,
who
put
that
together
really
quickly.
Government
have
now
issued
guidance
that
we
will
also
be
supported
nationally.
So
anybody
who
is
on
free
school
meals
and
other
you
know
vulnerable
categories,
and
if
people
are
struggling,
please
contact
us
and
we
can
arrange
for
for
support.
A
In
terms
of
that,
that's
that's
effectively
that
school.
You
know
school
voucher
and
hamper
peace.
So
so
karen,
thank
you
for
that.
For
that
question
the
scheme's
moved
on
effectively
and
we've.
We've
listened
to
advice
from
people.
Okay,
sorry
we're
a
couple
of
minutes
over
time
now,
so
I
just
I'll
just
reiterate
from
from
the
top
you
know
our
numbers
are
548
per
100
000.
A
You
know
we
before
you
know
we
were
the
highest
we've
got
to
before
was
was
around
250,
and
you
know,
literally
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
two
or
three
weeks
ago
we
were
down
to
60
or
70.,
so
our
numbers
are
going
up
at
a
significant
pace.
This
new
strain
is
really
really
fundamentally
moving
differently
and
more
quickly
and
our
hospitals
are
verging
full.
So
you
know
I
just
reiterate
the
message.
This
is
about
this
is
a
national
lockdown.
This
is
about
staying
at
home.
A
Please
you
know,
keep
questions
coming
in
and
we
will
answer
them
in
the
chat
bar
or
email
us.
You
know
we're
going
to
do
this
together.
You
know
we
are
at
the
end
of
a
line
on
this,
but
it's
it's
there's
a
long
way
to
go
still.
You
know
and
we
just
need
to
all
work
together.
So
thank
you
ever
so
much
for
your
time
and
for
your
questions.
We've
had
some
really
really
good
interactions
and
apologies.
