The Covid vaccine is being rolled out in Brent - Credit: PA Earlier this month, members of the Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee for North West London heard from local NHS leaders about the current pressures on local health services and the Covid vaccination plans for our area. We should take a moment to recognise that while dealing with a full blown health emergency – with hundreds of patients being admitted to our hospitals every day – the NHS is also having to plan vaccinations for hundreds of thousands of local residents. Doctors, nurses, and other health and social service staff have been working round the clock for a year now fighting this brutal pandemic.
