is this the department of health moment? gly, and it seems that many of them would like to see a rule change. they are casting their minds to come if one can say, after a holiday, or certainly a staycation, most likely, to september, when their loved ones are going to be going back to school. and so it seems that teachers, parents and politicians are starting to question whether keeping thousands of children off school to guard against covid infections is in fact the right policy, whether it is justified, and here in the ft, we have this figure of, for last week, it shows that wall 214,000 children were often england self isolating, only 9000 had confirmed cases —— off in england. and then one can refer, for example, i can take of anecdotal evidence, some of the i know, who having abided religiously by all the rules of that discovered three, four weeks ago that her children, two out of three children, of hers had got the delta variant and was really worried about this. and of course they had to quarantine, as did she come and

the department of health will be investigating this, quite rightly. to happen, put aside what was on the pictures, the fact that it was leaked at all. camera shutters click. sajid javid has a daunting in—tray from dealing with an ongoing pandemic to an nhs under pressure. he will also have a big say over covid rules and may have a different view to his predecessor. i don't imagine that actually his caution will be diminished when it comes to the pandemic but i certainly think his view could be defined as a lot more liberal when it comes to covid restrictions. and after the last few days, borisjohnson will hope mrjavid's return restores trust in the government's messaging. ben wright, bbc news. as well as the pandemic, the new health secretary's inbox includes the other pressures on the nhs in england — and the government's ambition for a social care plan. here's our health correspondent, dominic hughes. another day when those over 18 in england are being encouraged to grab a jab. a big england are being encouraged to grab ajab. a big push in england a

both the department of public health and the proposed contractor, health rate 360, have been nimble and responsive. as you will hear, the department of public health has added additional measures to increase outreach to those who would be appropriate for this service in the neighborhood and discourage loitering outside near the center. the department has secured transportation, determined destinations for those who are exiting the center, designated smoking areas so as not to disrupt or affect the neighbors, and most importantly the center will contribute to the revitalization of an uninhabited building. department of public health will share this, but there's space for second store offices and they will have staff that will come in daily frequenting thaibd businesses. i think -- neighborhood businesses. i think there is mutual interest in making this center safe for the community and making sure that the thoroughfares are kept clean of medical waste which is a current challenge in the neighborhood. once again i'm here. i want to say that this pilot is an important intervention in minim
