Mr. Paul Reid:

As the Deputy knows, we fully respect his role and responsibility in terms of transparency in challenging us. That goes unsaid. We have been very upfront. We have never said it is anecdotal evidence. We went on the record publicly last week to acknowledge that there have been issues in the third week of this delivery programme. I will briefly give some context of the three weeks. In the first week of this programme, in 255 practices with 500 GPs, 14,500 vaccinations went quite well across the board. That information comes from the IMO and the ICGP. In the second week almost 54,000 people were vaccinated in 500 practices containing over 900 GPs. In the third week, the Deputy is absolutely correct, we have been working with 542 practices for the delivery of approximately 37,000 vaccines. We did experience problems with a number of practices. That involved some practices not receiving the required amount, some practices not receiving their vaccines on the day they were expecting it-----
