Unfortunately, I was called out during the last hour so I missed quite a lot of the presentation. It is nice to see Dr. Henry there and his team. We got to know him very well during Covid. I want to say thanks to him for all the messaging he got across to us morning, noon and night at a very worrying time for us all in communities. That is appreciated and I thank all the team that was involved.

This is a very important debate. It is very important that this awareness campaign be spread into every county, region and parish. Since we started speaking about this in the committee in recent weeks, I have found that a lot of families have been affected by loss of life from sepsis. What we are doing here is very important and I congratulate Mr. Hughes for bringing this to our attention. I will not ask any questions because my colleagues have done quite a lot of that over the past hour and unfortunately I missed most of it. I will engage with the Chairman on the debate. I thank everyone for being here today and for getting this very important message across.
