It's been pointed out to me that this is not the dhsc/nhse position, and that staff should be vaccinated regardless of whether they have an NHS number.
This does not negate the fact that at least one trust has taken the position not to vaccinate without.

For an organisation that has extensive requirements for training and awareness about indirect discrimination, the NHS trust seems blithely unaware how their policy will disproportionately affect staff less likely to have an NHS number.
Policies such as this, usually applied overzealously due to someone sticking rigourously to the letter of guidelines and directives, disproportionately affect staff who might have less access to healthcare, precisely those who COVID will affect more.
