Wonderful care indeed - thank you @RoyalSurrey team for looking after me so well! https://t.co/fwu9t4vatt — PolitiTweet.org

Integrated care systems are welcome news but how will they be held accountable - will Health Sec ask CQC to do OFSTED style ratings as they successfully do for hospitals and GP surgeries? My Q to @MattHancock https://t.co/no4zVrxpjx — PolitiTweet.org

I’m in the ‘go harder and faster’ camp on covid but it does seem over-zealous to allow two adults to exercise outdoors but not two children (who face much lower risk from covid but probably greater mental health risks from lockdown). — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine a place with 64 million people where they eradicated covid without prolonged or severe lockdowns...find out more in my patient safety email tomorrow: https://t.co/mHvKTIbVi6 — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Agree with NHS leaders on this. After horrors of the Ockenden review, increasing staffing levels in maternity units will be a non-negotiable part of any solution. — PolitiTweet.org

How important is it to bring down new cases if we are to reduce the risk of a vaccine-busting variant? My q to @MattHancock https://t.co/4hejWtOBqZ — PolitiTweet.org

About 2000 people with learning disabilities/autism are currently in locked inpatient units despite repeated attempts to find more humane community care. Should we follow Italy and ban new inpatient admissions by law? My q to Julie Newcombe(Rightful Lives) and Dan Scorer(Mencap) https://t.co/CxhqF8ZCIx — PolitiTweet.org

Spot on from ⁦@RSylvesterTimes⁩ - if we won’t fix social care after the heroism of care workers during the pandemic when will we? https://t.co/b4Cxm45PFe — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Don’t share the negative analysis about my successor but @ianbirrell is absolutely spot on that the 3 big things any health legislation should focus on are social care, workforce and quality of care - everything else is secondary:  https://t.co/fHVizchme0 — PolitiTweet.org

High praise indeed COVID-19: UK 'vindicated' over 'brave' decision to delay second vaccine dose, WHO official says | UK News | Sky News https://t.co/Wq32hw8KGD — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

We may not need to continue lockdown until cases fall to such a level and I am not advocating as such. But we do need to keep sensible restrictions in place until enhanced contact tracing can be brought in for all new cases. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

So it seems a sensible approach to learn from. I asked @didoharding the precise level of cases at which enhanced contact tracing becomes possible & she was unsure. But conditions here are different to Korea so case rate at which this becomes possible is unlikely to be the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Korea has kept case transmission below 1,200/day (and is currently around 400/day) so is an example of the kind of relatively low level that makes such detailed contact tracing possible. Even without a vaccine they have not needed a national lockdown. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

This is a big step up from the contact tracing we do & much closer to what happens in South Korea & Japan. But impossible with current high levels of transmission. Hence the critical importance of getting case levels down well below the current c 20k/day before ending lockdown. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

When such variants arrive, our best strategy - if we want to avoid another lockdown - will be 'enhanced contact tracing' as discussed with @didoharding in this week's select committee: backwards & forwards contact tracing combined with genomic sequencing of every +ve case. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

It is clear that the biggest risk to our current strategy is the emergence of new variants that are immune or partially immune to the vaccine, a worst case scenario I asked @nadhimzahawi about today in parliament. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

The headline in tomorrow's Guardian over-eggs my position on when lockdown should be eased. To be clear my argument is as follows: (short thread) — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Could the vaccine rollout be rendered ineffective by new variants? My question to @nadhimzahawi https://t.co/sz2E96bFeT — PolitiTweet.org

Baroness Harding confirms reluctantly there are thousands of potentially infectious people not isolating every day who should https://t.co/ibtFii6hS9 — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Extraordinary to have it confirmed that around 20,000 more people every day who TEST POSITIVE are still out and about spreading the virus. If we are not going to make good salary losses of those asked to isolate, where's the plan to address this gaping hole in our strategy? — PolitiTweet.org
