Retired Gurkhas have complained of being ignored by the NHS for Covid-19 vaccinations, despite hundreds of doses apparently going spare near their homes.
More than 400 ex-Gurkhas living in the Greenwich area of London are among pensioners yet to be invited amid questions over the speed of the NHS booking system, The Telegraph can disclose.
Meanwhile, ministers launched an urgent review after the Milly Dowler killer Levi Bellfield was among high security prisoners told they would be invited for vaccines in the coming weeks.
Rajen Kandel, group director of the NHS Woolwich Late Night Pharmacy, said he had enough Oxford vaccine doses “sitting in the fridge” to jab nearly 400 people every day, but only 50 people were being booked in by the NHS daily.
