I accept that. I had questions on pharmacists and dentists. Again, there was a big frenzy. I have had emails. All of the questions have been answered very calmly. There is an answer to all these questions. Media abhor a vacuum.

One of my key messages today is that everyone should just calm down. The questions get answered. The questions the pharmacists have had have been answered reasonably cogently this morning. Politicians have a role in this. Everyone is anxious to receive the vaccine. I wish to clarify and confirm that the deadlines for the vaccine commitments up to the end of February will be met. It is my understanding that up until the end of March there is an issue but that up until the end of February the task force is on target, supply-wise.
