That is very heartening because at the most recent engagement we had with Mr. Hughes, his impression was there was more information on sepsis in his own home than there was anywhere else. Everybody will be aware that there were interruptions during the pandemic but the clinical lead is very important because that will put an emphasis on raising the awareness of sepsis. The information on the leaflet is wonderful. It is a checklist of symptoms, as Dr. Henry mentioned. The FAST campaign has raised awareness exponentially across the State and is important.

On sepsis, do the witnesses have figures for the percentage of patients who contract sepsis in clinical settings - I am conscious that some may have sepsis when they come into the clinical setting - or those who have contracted sepsis, having perhaps come in to this setting with other issues? Do the witnesses have any data as to how prevalent the condition is in clinical settings?
