Navin Shah AM (Chair): Thank you very much. Minister Zahawi, I know this morning already you had a very busy schedule. I have heard you on Leading Britain's Conversation (LBC), we have seen you on Sky [Network] Television (TV) and you are here this morning with us. I cannot thank you enough. May I just on behalf of the Assembly if you can spare another minute, ask you a question of reassurance that we are seeking on behalf of Londoners?

David Kurten AM: I would like to ask, yes, Martin Machray if I could, back to the people who were here before. You refer to the vaccine or the injections that people are being given from Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Moderna as vaccines. However, the substances from Pfizer and Moderna are not vaccines, as people understand vaccines. They are experimental Messenger RNA (mRNA) gene technologies. Why do you continue to refer to those two substances and injections as vaccines?

Len Duvall AM: I just want to thank Tom Coffey for the way he answered Councillor [Tony] Devenish [AM] and Shaun Bailey’s [AM] questions. We do have to differentiate between the vulnerable and those that are playing on their fears with fake information, because we know this fake information and this very professionally organised information will cost lives. If people are taken in by misinformation, wrong information, people will die on the back of it.

Is now the time to begin a public debate in London on the importance of vitamin D recognising along with other actions, how it can play a part in boosting the human body immune system?

David Kurten AM: Thank you, Chair. I would like to ask Dr Fenton. We heard from the Chair and you earlier about admissions to hospitals with COVID being the highest since the start of the declared pandemic in March 2020. How do total hospital admissions now, this January, compare to last January and other winter seasons before this year?

Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much. My question is to John Barradell. In the first lockdown, it is quite clear that local authorities played a major role, albeit with some mixed messages coming from central Government about what they should be doing or not doing. What is different in the second wave in terms of some of the issues they were performing in getting food and prescriptions to people? You might identify other gaps in support that were taking place in the first lockdown.
