Minutes:

5.1

The Policy and Improvement Officer (Alice Nicholson) read out a question received from Jane Wratten, who worked in an early years setting, requesting that nurseries be only open for key workers so as to limit the amount of mixing of households, that funding be made available for private nurseries to keep afloat while children stay at home, and for nursery staff, as key workers in the frontline, to be prioritised for vaccination.

 

 

5.2

In response, the Committee agreed that (a) the emails received with the questions be sent to relevant Executive members and officers for consideration and (b) the Executive replies to the individual who posed the question, with a copy of the response being sent to all Members of the Council.
