HRH The Earl of Wessex attended the Local Resilience Forum alongside the Lord-Lieutenants of Bristol, Somerset and Gloucestershire. The Forum brings together a range of organisations including public health, the NHS, Clinical Commissioning Group, Adult Social Care and is chaired by Avon and Somerset Constabulary. These are the organisations that plan how the area will address Covid-19 from a strategic perspective. Considerations regarding, for example, the amount of vaccines and their roll out, the implications of the exit from lockdown, the spread of the virus across the region and more is coordinated by this group of specialists. HRH reflected that the Forum had been standing for the longest period ever since its formation. He expressed his delight with the mutual support and collaborative ways of working established within the Forum. He thanked the Forum and their sponsor organisations for all their hard work and effort.
