Yesterday in Parliament, in my statement on COVID restrictions, I said this about special needs:”On St Martin’s, Mr Speaker, we are working for an even earlier date of reopening if possible.We are conscious of the difficulties being experienced by the parents of children with special needs in particular.We will ensure our teachers are going be in the very first round of those to be vaccinated beyond the ‘at risk’ groups and the teachers at St Martin’s will be the first of the first.Until then the relevant Ministers are working to provide additional facilities for children and persons with special needs at parks, and the RGP are aware of the specific provisions in our regulations for persons with learning difficulties, an innovation we did not have during the first lockdown but which Minister Sacramento specifically carved out this time.”I want to highlight this so that everyone who needs to be aware is fully informed.
Excellent multiagency team-work with our GHA partner, and fantastic progress with our vaccination programme at the Care Agency!
Carlos
Banderas, CEO, commented, “We have achieved an excellent result during
what can be described as a very difficult time for both our
service-users and staff. I’m exceedingly pleased that almost all
service-users of the Disability Service have now received the vaccine.
Special thanks to our nursing team and Covid-19 coordinator, Sharon
Radcliff, for her efforts with this. We continue the fight against the
coronavirus”.
