The Minister is most welcome to committee. I want to follow up on two questions. First, I want follow up on Deputy Shortall's question regarding information on the vaccines. The Minister worked in the private sector before going into politics. To be quite frank, the flow of information on vaccines from the Department is not acceptable. In the private sector it would not be tolerated. I have been in touch with officials in the Department on this issue. I want to know why a report cannot simply be issued on a Monday morning, containing information on the number of people vaccinated in the previous week, the number of vaccines delivered, and from which companies, and the number of vaccines in stock. It is not rocket science. I want an answer from the Minister as to why that cannot happen. Can the Minister make it happen?
