Clinically Vulnerable List
18 Answers
Where do they get this information from as I was put on the list in March and have no idea why. I had breast cancer 18 years ago, no the hormonal kind, had the breast removed and had chemo and radiotherapy. Had a mammogram in February this year which was fine. I had skin cancer 2 years ago and had it removed. I am over 65 now but, touch wood, health wise, apart from a touch of arthritis, keeping fairly fit, out with the dogs, gardening etc. I did have 4 hospital visits in a 6 month period to January this year but that was for my eye sight and I was signed off. I know another lady in exactly the same position, has had breast cancer twice, last one being 8 years ago. She rang the Doctors and was told she should not be on this list but once you are on it you cannot get off. My cousin who has had 2 heart attacks, 5 stents, a damaged heart, takes 12 tablets a day is not on the list.

I have checked all the NHS lists about Clinically Extremely Vulnerable and it does not apply. It appears that I am not the only one, 100,000 were put on the list in error. I am in the Clinically Vulnerable but so are everyone else of my age. I am not overweight, thank goodness, as this is another factor. Cannot be bothered to ring the Doctor takes forever to get through.
I just ignore it but I have now had another letter from the Council about this and they are going to ring me. Had no letter from the Doctor though. Don’t know why but it irritates me no end, my cousin is 69 and is definitely clinically extremely vulnerable, although she does not want to go on the list. I am sure there are a lot of people out there that should be.
I was thinking of asking the same question. Didn,t get a letter in March but today received letter saying I am now clinically vulnerable, I have mild COPD and I am over 70 so know I am in the vulnerable section, although concerned I think I will carry on as usual I have been taking all precautions as required
I had cancer and chemo about 6-8 years ago. In the mean time I had a few aortic stents,aortic bypass, bi femoral graphs and a quadruple heart by pass. Just before covid kicked off I was a tad overwight but have lost 5 stone . Luckily at 70years I have escaped diabetes by a close call. I thought I would be classified by the NHS as medically vulnerable but apparently they don't think so . That's encouraging. :-)
