thank you very much, and edel harris from mencap, many thanks for highlighting these issues.arts of northern england overnight. this is how it was looking on the m62 near rochdale earlier — the road had to be closed while the snow was cleared. the are reports of similar disruption in parts of south yorkshire, with more snow expected. let's see where the snow is falling — the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. parts of northern england have seen some heavy snow already this morning. the met office still has an amber weather warning in force for that heavy snow, with the likelihood of disruption till 1.00 today. now, slowly through the afternoon you will see the southern edge of that snow move northwards, up behind it for a time, fair conditions with a few wintry showers in scotland. for northern ireland, for england and wales, we are looking at more showers, some of them heavy and thundery, but relatively mild — up to 1a degrees. the showers making progress across northern ireland, england and wales through the night, with snow coming in as cross parts of scotland. mean

edel harris is the chief executive of the learning disabilities charity mencap.tion to the issue. we are so appreciative that in amongst the difficult time that the family are having just now with frances being in hospital that jo has been so willing to share her story and raise this really important issue. there is a general lack of understanding, sadly, about learning disability, notjust in the general population, but in wider society. and i think what this story is highlighting is that even before we had heard the words coronavirus, that people with learning disabilities suffered huge health inequalities in this country, with 1,200 approximately people with a learning disability dying avoidably every year, when access to good quality health care would have saved them. and so what covid—19 has done is shone a really bright light on this most important and most pressing issue. and we are urging thejcvi and the government and whoever it is that makes the decision just to remove this arbitrary definition of severe and profound learning disability, because people w

edel harris from the learning disability charity mencap says the definition of severe and profound learning one of the reasons thatjo and others likejo are speaking so passionately on this issue at the moment is that the definition of severe and profound learning disability, in our view, is an arbitrary one and putting a definition of mild or moderate or severe or profound is irrelevant in the case of horrifying statistics that we have seen both from public health england and others. if you have a learning difficulty, full stop, however one might define that learning disability, you are up to six times more likely to die from covid and we cannot understand why the joint committee on vaccination and immunisation and the government are notjust including all people with a learning disability. it would also result in a much smoother vaccine roll—out because, at the moment, gps, who are under so much pressure, are having to decide whether somebody fits into a category of severe or profound or not. as we've heard, the vaccine roll—out is well under way with over 15 million people receiving their

here's edel harris is from the learning disability charity mencap., in our view, is an arbitrary one, and putting a definition of mild or moderate or severe or profound is irrelevant in the case of the horrifying statistics. we cannot understand why the joint committee on vaccination and immunisation, and the government, are notjust including all people with a learning disability. gps who are under so much pressure are having to decide whether somebody fits into a category of severe or profound or not. so there are concerns about how being vulnerable is defined. the counter to this is that the pace of this roll—out means there will be some anomalies in when people get offered the jab. here's professorjeremy brown — who sits on thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation, which advises the government on its vaccine priority lists. there are going to be situations where some people in some geographical areas have got ahead of other geographical areas. that's just going to happen. and you're going to be able to find examples of people who have be
