My third question is on a matter that was touched on earlier. I have come across a 96-year-old lady who lives in sheltered housing in my constituency. There are ten others over 60 years old who are in similar accommodation. I have contacted the National Ambulance Service to try to get them vaccinated. Unfortunately, these people are falling through the cracks. They are at an age where they should have been vaccinated very early, but have not been. I am not sure where or how they are falling through the cracks. If there are other people who are housebound, is it their GPs or their families who should be making the calls to the National Ambulance Service in this case to get the vaccination?

Finally, I presume that for pharmacists and dentists who get the call to be part of the vaccination team that it would be through the portal as well. Somebody would be sent to Joe Bloggs, pharmacist, at 11 o'clock Wednesday week, for example. It will be the same type of procedure and it will be done through the portal. Similar to the vaccination centre or GPs, one would be invited to go to a certain location to receive the vaccine.
