TEN POINT MENINGITIS ACTION PLAN

That this House welcomes the 10 point Meningitis Action Plan put forward by Meningitis Now and Meningitis Research Foundation in light of the meningitis petition signed by over 823,000 people; notes the charities' concerns regarding the cost-effectiveness framework and adolescent carriage/intervention study; further notes the weight of evidence given to the Petitions Committee in conjunction with the Health Committee; supports the request for the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation to consider a one-off catch-up vaccination programme for children under five years old and utilise a fairer cost-effectiveness framework; and encourages the Secretary of State for Health to expedite implementation of the 10 point plan put forward by both charities.
