I will let Mr. O'Brien deal with the drugs issue. The Chief Medical Officer has just received a recommendation on whether the vaccine should be available on the broader remit. It is not done in other countries to any great extent but we are assessing that recommendation and there will be a decision very shortly. It is not just life threatening, as the Deputy knows, but can result in very severe disabilities, including brain damage.
