I get that. For the over 70s, the GPs will contact the people themselves and that is how that will work out. For the general population, there was a promise of 15 mass vaccination centres or pop-up centres. Have we locations identified for those sites? When we get to that point, how will the IT system work? Is it at that point that people will have to contact the system because, obviously, that will be more problematic or difficult? Again, how will the system work? Will people have to contact the vaccination centres and make appointments? That is the first question.

The second question is in regard to staffing. How many people have come through the training process for vaccinators and support staff who will be in place for the mass vaccination centres? Are we looking at Army personnel with medical backgrounds? What is the capacity we are looking at?

Again, in regard to site identification, is that in train and what timeframe are we looking at for these vaccination centres to be in place?
