I have a question for Mr. Owens in a similar vein. Many doctors have been in contact with me and told me about the early days when the portal opened in which they had to register for vaccination. Many of them went through the first and second pages of inputting data, but then the system crashed several times. Some of them did not get around to it a second time because of the immense workload they take on each day, or when they did, a week had elapsed. Some of them tried a second time, but again the same technical glitches were encountered. Basically, they did not get to register properly and by the time they did, they are of the view that it set them back in the roll-out calendar, as it were. They have fallen further back. I note that Dr. Colleran has her hand up, so perhaps one of the witnesses can deal with that.
