Mr. Joe Ryan:

We are not aware of that case but we are aware that we have been challenged across our system, not least our GPs, in terms of our ability to deliver care. The way GPs operate has had to change for reasons such as the need to use PPE and separate patients to avoid them having to queue. This has affected their overall capacity.

There is a return to services plan. Obviously, it is completely contingent on what the virus does, which is contingent to some degree on how we quickly we can roll out vaccines. I do not know the specific case but we are aware that across our system, be it with regard to GPs, hospitals or our primary care or social care side, we are challenged in terms of being able to deliver all of the services we had been delivering. There is a plan to get us back to a level of service.
