Mr. Liam Woods:

I will respond and my colleagues can make any further comments. As the Deputy rightly said, the challenge is clear. That we are facing into winter and Covid and, as mentioned earlier, a backlog of demand is putting the health system in a very difficult position. In terms of the uptake rates in hospitals specifically, they have been improving over the past two years but need more focus. The Deputy asked what we are doing. There have been active campaigns, some very successful, on peer-to-peer vaccination within the hospital environment and we will be encouraging and promoting more of that.
