On getting prepared for the winter, can Mr. Reid give us any update on the winter service plan? Will primary care centres in communities be used? He may have commented on this earlier but I did not hear. In what capacity can these centres be used?

Every year, there is a push for staff in the HSE, particularly front-line staff, to have the flu vaccination. Given the winter we are facing, what are the plans to increase take-up of the flu vaccine? Have mandatory flu vaccinations for front-line staff been ruled in or out?
