That State Line on Bbc News. Dateline. Hello, and welcome if you just joined us. The Uks Vaccine advisory bodyis joined us. The Uks Vaccine advisory body is saying it cannot recommend vaccinating 12 15 Year Olds against rotavirus. They are at low risk comparatively to the virus, and the jobs would only have marginal benefit. The jcvi jobs would only have marginal benefit. Thejcvi said the government should consider wider issues, including the potential disruption to schools if children are vaccinated and get ill. The Health Secretary Sajid Javid has asked chief medical officers in all four nations to see if medical vaccinations would tip the balance. Fergus walsh reports. From france, to the united states, and israel, many wealthier nations are already immunising all their 12 to 15 year olds, not the uk. The scientists who advise government on immunisation, thejcvi, today said a further 200,000 young teens with heart, Lung And Liver conditions thought to be vulnerable to covid would be asked to have the vaccine, but it would not recommend the jab for healthy 12 15 Year Olds. Whilst the benefits marginally outweigh the risks, the risk of Heart Inflamation is still uncertain and we want to see what wider societal and educational benefits there are to children before recommending universal vaccination. The key concern for the jcvi is the potential long Term Harm from a rare Side Effect from the pfizer vaccine. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, and Pericarditis Information of the heart lining. Inflammation of the heart lining. Data from the united states shows that for every 1 Million boys fully immunised with the pfizer vaccine, there were around 60 cases of heart information. Heart inflammation. Among girls, it was much lower, with around eight cases per million. Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, and palpitations. But these were generally mild symptoms and short lived. As for covid, healthy children are at minimal risk of severe illness with just two in A Million admitted to Intensive Care after infection. So what happens now . Thejcvi only looks at health issues, but the uks four chief medical officers can examine why the issues, such as disruption to schools, from repeated covid outbreaks, and whether this might tip the balance in favour of immunising all 12 15 Year Olds. Wider issues. If we are going to vaccinate our children, it has got to really be in their interests and not in societys interests to vaccinate them, and i think it is a difficult decision. So what do families make of it . People between the age of 12 15. Should be able to get a vaccination to prevent the spread of the virus. I would not recommend for the moment, its too early. I think if we want to get the pandemic under control, we have to as vaccinate many of the population as possible. Many other countries rolled out vaccines to all secondary school children in the summer, with the Autumn Term now under a final decision of the uk is promised shortly. And a little earlier, fergus explained the significance of the announcement. This could show the Care And Attention that the jcvi, this independent group of scientists, have taken every step of the way when it comes to recommending who gets which vaccines. And that may boost public confidence. But theres a danger that itll also be seen as dithering and passing the buck. And people may ask, why wasnt this decision made earlier when schools were still on summer holidays, and why wasnt the final decision coordinated with the wider assessment of the Health Benefits to Education And Society so we can have one announcement . And there is some political frustration about the delays for example, the uk now has a lower percentage of its population immunised than denmark, spain, belgium and canada. So the assessment now goes to Chris Whitty and the other chief medical officers. But for now, parents and children will have to wait. Lets talk now to a clinical epidemiologist from queen barry university, london, and a member of thejcvi. Doctor, good to speak to you again. What you make of this decision by thejc you again. What you make of this decision by the Jc Vi effectively to say, this is our sense of it, but actually we think its over to you chief medical officers to make the final Decision Jcvi . My chief medical officers to make the final Decision Jcvi . My apologies for that. Tts final Decision Jcvi . My apologies for that. � , final Decision Jcvi . My apologies forthat. H. ,. , final Decision Jcvi . My apologies for that. H. ,. , for that. Its fine. The decision is shocking for that. Its fine. The decision is shocking. Lets for that. Its fine. The decision is shocking. Lets be for that. Its fine. The decision is shocking. Lets be clear, for that. Its fine. The decision is shocking. Lets be clear, the shocking. Lets be clear, the benefit to risk evaluation was evaluated for months. Im rather shocked by the analysis the jcvi evaluated for months. Im rather shocked by the Analysis Thejcvi has done, they vastly underestimated. When theyve used population denominators, the actual risk is the same data theyre using. Putting that aside, the idea that we should be looking at direct benefit to children is important, but its very clear that if you use the correct statistics, the benefits in terms of hospitalisations, deaths, long covid directly to children far outweigh the risks. We dont need to justify vaccinating children, in fact its reckless not to give and we have 8000 children getting infected every day, even before schools had opened. Now we are putting children into schools without mitigations and without vaccination. And we know whats happened in scotland just two weeks Ago when schools went in, theres been mass Disruption And Increase in Infection Rates in this age group. Increase in Infection Rates in this age grown age group. Picking up your point about what age group. Picking up your point about what the age group. Picking up your point about what the jcvi age group. Picking up your point about what the jcvi has age group. Picking up your point i about what the jcvi has considered about what the jcvi has considered or not, we spoke to a member of the committee on Bbc News earlier this afternoon and he said we do look at the inverted benefits . Yes. Afternoon and he said we do look at the inverted benefits . The inverted benefits . Yes, but the roblem is the inverted benefits . Yes, but the problem is that the inverted benefits . Yes, but the problem is that the the inverted benefits . Yes, but the problem is that the direct the inverted benefits . Yes, but the problem is that the direct benefit i problem is that the direct Benefit Analysis Theyve done is completely wrong. Its so basically flawed that it doesnt pass basic scrutiny. Theyve said that the Admissions Rate for children is to in A Million, which doesnt make any sense for how the children for healthy children. Because with their current rates, you would need children with pre existing conditions to form a 500 of the population to explain the number of ic you admissions weve had, and that doesnt make any sense at all. So you think the stats theyve based this on are wrong. What do you then think the chief medical officers, Chris Whitty, and his other colleagues in the nations of the uk should be taking into consideration . What would you want them to add to their thinking in addition to what their thinking in addition to what thejcvi has said . The . Their thinking in addition to what the jcvi has said .

They should completely disregard what the | the jcvi has said . They should completely disregard what the jcvi completely disregard what the jcvi has said because its based on flawed science. They need to look at the actual evidence which there has been many publications on in the us and from other people showing the huge benefits directly to children. They should also consider the risks posed by long cobit. Long covid. Weve seen people have symptoms lasting for 3 4 months, and they have cognitive effects like Memory Loss and lack of concentration. This is not a trivial disease in children, a disease that causes disability and 11 chilled 11,000 children is not trivial. Disability and 11 chilled 11,000 children is not trivial.

A former conservative Health Secretary has said the government must Bite The Bullet and bring in tax rises to fund the nhs and Social Care. Jeremy hunt said the pressures on the sector are only going to increase, following the pandemic. The government is due to announce some measures next week to address the challenges faced by the nhs in england as the number of people waiting for procedures is at a record high. 0ur Health Editor Hugh Pym reports. Im not half the man i was. Compared to what i could do, i am nowhere near the guy. Wayne from derbyshire has had a painful and sometimes traumatic wait of more than two years for treatment for gallstones. After six months of assessment, he was put on the list for an operation early last year but while waiting for surgery, he became seriously ill and spent months in hospital. He had to learn to walk again and build up his strength. Welcome home and he was discharged from hospital in february. I should have been dealt with far sooner and this wouldnt have happened. Being bitter is not going to solve this. Solving it would be putting it to an end so going forward, these queues, these Waiting Lists are reduced. Wayne still doesnt know when his operation will take place. He feels the delay and his condition getting worstjust meant more nhs resources were needed for his care. So what are the solutions . Major North London hospitals, including this one, are working together to send patients to specialist centres. Here it is orthopaedic surgery. They are doing more operations than before the pandemic and are bringing in some who have had long waits. We know that waiting with advanced arthritis is causing significant problems with mobility, i obviously persistent pain. And for many, their Mental Health has also suffered so to be able to get back to operate now is very rewarding for us and of course its good to see that our patients are gettingl the treatment they require. How are you . Im fine. William has given Margaret A hip replacement. A few hours later, he is checking how she is. It has been quite tough. But im glad ive had it done now. The time has gone so quick. Im glad ive had it done now so i can be comfortable and not in no pain no more. This is a brand new Hospital Facility and they are working with partners across the local community to try to reduce Waiting Lists. The question is, will the nhs in some other areas he able to do the same . There has been extra nhs funding for this initiative. That has been welcomed by Hospital Leaders although they say cutting the backlog will be a huge task. Its going to be massive workload, need a great deal of investment to do it, i and that is at every level. We have got to train more surgeons, train more anaesthetists, train more theatre staff. But above all, we need to be efficient so when we have i got these facilities, we really have to use them. We have to use them i every day of the week. 0nlyjust come out of hospital a month before. One of the hospitals which treated wayne said there was progress tackling the backlog but it was understood that long waits were distressing for patients. Wayne has now been contacted about further checks, but there is still no date for his op. Hugh pym, Bbc News. You came into the studio because the government is also looking at how to reform and pay for Social Care hue. And hes been looking at what might be planned. Taste hue. And hes been looking at what might be planned. Might be planned. We dont have any detail et, might be planned. We dont have any detail yet. But might be planned. We dont have any detail yet, but we might be planned. We dont have any detail yet, but we are might be planned. We dont have any detail yet, but we are told might be planned. We dont have any detail yet, but we are told we might be planned. We dont have any detail yet, but we are told we are detail yet, but we are told we are going to get something early next Week And Itll attempt to address theissue Week And Itll attempt to address the issue of Means Testing of Social Care in england. At the moment, if you have savings of more than £14,250, you have to meet some of your Social Care costs. Anything more than £22,250, you have to meet all your costs. And if you have to go into a residential home, the value of your house is included in that. So it does end up with people having to sell their homes which has caused a lot of Anger And Distress over the years. Then theres the issue of a cap in other words, can you limit the amount that people have to pay from their own savings . Backin have to pay from their own savings . Back in 2015 the conservative manifesto had a pledge to cap Care Costs at £72,000, but it was never implement it. Now theres the cost local authorities are providing to Social Care, extra funding for that, and the speculation is that could be funded by increased National Insurance Contributions. We will have to wait until early next week. In scotland, there is free personal care, a certain amount of that in Northern Ireland and wales, some Care Costs are already capped. Well, we can now speak to the former conservative Health Secretary, Stephen Dorrell and chair of the health select committe. He joins us live from worcester. Thank you very much, good to speak to you again. Do you sharejeremy hunts belief that in the end, some kind of rise in taxation will be needed to fund this . Needed to fund this . Yes, i absolutely needed to fund this . Yes, i absolutely agree needed to fund this . Yes, i absolutely agree with needed to fund this . Yes, i l absolutely agree with jeremy needed to fund this . Yes, i absolutely agree with jeremy about that. I think its welcome, actually, on the narrow issue of Social Care, that the government is quite clearly speculating in public now about which Tax Itll Raise not whether Itll Raise tax, but which Tax Itll Raise in order to address the Social Care crisis. But i Thinkjeremy Hunt is also quite right to say that you Cant Address Social Care on its own or the Health Service on its own. It is one health care system, and the truth is as we look forward to the rest of this decade, both health and Social Care will need more money. His proposal is the national will need more money. His proposal is the national insurance will need more money. His proposal is the national Insurance System, i is the national Insurance System, and weve had extra rises on national insurance, you are in the House Of Commons then so you will remember when Tony Blair was prime minister, he slipped past Gordon Brown that they were going to put up national insurance to bring the health spending up to the european average, orthat health spending up to the european average, or that was the aspiration. Is the national insurance the right way to go this . The is the national insurance the right way to go this . Is the national insurance the right way to go this . The most important thing actually way to go this . The most important thing actually is way to go this . The most important thing actually is to way to go this . The most important thing actually is to make way to go this . The most important thing actually is to make sure way to go this . The most important thing actually is to make sure we i thing actually is to make sure we have more resources into health and Social Care, and i welcome the fact that the government is speculating about that. I would personally do it through national insurance, i think that tilts the burden onto younger Working People i would not. And also because of the way the national Insurance System works, it caps the obligation at a mid level of income. So Income Tax is a share away fairer way of meeting this burden, so i would prefer Income Tax but national insurance is better than carrying on as we are. T national insurance is better than carrying on as we are. Carrying on as we are. I noticed that when carrying on as we are. I noticed that when we carrying on as we are. I noticed that when we spoke carrying on as we are. I noticed that when we spoke earlier carrying on as we are. I noticed i that when we spoke earlier today to the intergenerational foundation, they made the not unreasonable point that if you continue to work, you stop paying national insurance meaning older workers get a 12 Pay Boost almost overnight once they hit what is the official retirement age. Indeed,. ,. , what is the official retirement age. Indeed,. ,. ,. , what is the official retirement age.

If they are indeed, and those are already people who, if they are on indeed, and those are already people who, if they are on relatively indeed, and those are already people who, if they are on relatively high who, if they are on relatively high incomes, benefit from the fact that the National Insurance Contributions dont apply to the higher level of income. So the point about national insurance is that it focuses the burden onto younger people and less well paid people, which is why i think the Income Tax would be a better way of paying for this health and Social Care obligation, which rests on us all as members of society.

Im not one of those who think that Social Care should be met | think that Social Care should be met fully through the cost of taxation. I do think its reasonable in a mixed economy for better off people to share and make a contribution to their Social Care costs. The Point Andrew makes, and i think this is absolutely right and goes back to his original report in 2011, around ten years Ago, is the obligation to meet all Social Care costs can run to hundreds of thousands of pounds in a very tiny minority of cases. And its the one form of risk that you cant ensure against. And thats why andrew suggested this should be insured by the taxpayer because thats fair. ,. , insured by the taxpayer because thats fair. ,. ,. ,. , insured by the taxpayer because thats fair. , ,. , ~ insured by the taxpayer because thats fair thats fair.

As he was saying, we are expecting some kind of announcement from the government imminently, Hugh Pym suggested it could be early next week, so stay with us on Bbc News and we will bring you that as soon as we get the details. Staying with the pandemic latest figures show a further 121 people have died within 28 days of a positive Coronavirus Test here in the uk. There have also been 42,076 new cases reported over the past 24 hour period. The senior british commander on the ground in kabul has been speaking for the first time about the evacuation operation. The last of the 1,000 british troops returned to uk at the weekend, after helping to rescue more than 15,000 people. Brigadierjames martin says his troops did their duty in the midst of the most harrowing scenes. Hes been talking to our defence correspondentjonathan beale. This is what british troops faced soon after they landed in the cauldron of kabul airport. The desperation of thousands of people trying to flee a country now under taliban control. Soldiers trained for combat trying to instill some order in the chaos. A massive humanitarian mission that has taken its toll. When you are dealing with a very large crowd that is fearful, in fear of its life, crushing, pressing against you, when women and children are being crushed and, yes, dying, in some cases, in your arms, your agency to deal with the situation and change it is very different than when you are on combat operations. There was emotions all the way through the operations. You cant see a young child, a baby, a woman crushed to death in front of you and then you having to deal with the aftermath of that, you cant see any of that without being emotional. There have been tears . Yeah, of course there have been tears. And they did all this while their own lives were under threat. It culminated in a Suicide Attack just over a week Ago. 13 of their us comrades were killed in the blast, along with more than 150 afghans who were hoping to get on a flight to freedom. It was carnage, it was carnage. When that level of Explosion And Combination of shrapnel is detonated, there is only one result, and that is carnage. But the way in which i witnessed our soldiers react to that incident was, you know, one of the finest things ive seen. They ran towards the explosion. They provided immediate medical Succour And Support to the afghan civilians that had been wounded. Brigadier martin himself has done several tours fighting the taliban, who are now back in control, so the question, was it worth it. What price 20 years of freedom for those people . What price no terrorist attacks emanating from afghanistan . So, you know, i put the ball back in your court. Is that worth it . In the end, they helped rescue more than 15,000 people. And while questions still remain about the speed of the governments response, who can question the courage, Commitment And Compassion shown by britains Armed Forces . Jonathan beale, Bbc News.
