Mr. David Walsh:

I smile when I hear Senator Black refer to Safetynet and I think of all the people involved, including Dr. O'Carroll and all his colleagues who work in that service.

I would also add Dr. Margaret Fitzgerald from our public health department who works very closely with them on those very vulnerable groups. She is working hard to put together the strategy the Senator spoke about.

Regarding priorities and vulnerable groups, homeless people and other marginalised communities are a very clear consideration and form part of our current thinking. People living often in congregated settings, including hostels, are incredibly vulnerable. We are trying to put together a plan to address that specific need, working clearly with Safetynet Primary Care and other similar smaller providers throughout the country.
