In May, we launched our COVID-19 campaign #weneedanswers where we asked the Prime Minister, Secretaries of State for Health, Education and Work and Pensions, as well as to the devolved administrations for answers and advice for those shielding.
Following a number of responses, we have secured a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport in Scotland, to discuss the shielding policy in Scotland and how it affects Duchenne families. This will be used by the government to help them understand what they need to consider when developing their shielding policy.
We would be happy to put forward any questions from Duchenne families at this meeting. Please feel free to send them to lynnette@actionduchenne.org before the end of Monday 29 June 2020.
