Mr. Paul Reid:

We have a group, which I chair and which meets once a week, overseeing the complete response from the HSE. That includes all of the services Dr. Fitzgerald has outlined. We have appointed a national public health lead to interface with all of the services because there are obviously certain public health needs, which we have already identified. I do not want to be seen to be profiling but one of the immediate public health needs we have seen is the low uptake of immunisation and vaccination among people from many eastern European countries. I refer not only to Covid vaccination, but also to other immunisation programmes. That is one but there are other areas we have already identified. The route to market or how to address these issues is through the group of senior officials from across Departments, which also meets weekly. We take general direction from that group but, ultimately, our interface is through our services in the community and reaching populations, particularly the Ukrainian populations that have been placed in quite rural locations in these early stages. There is great demand on our services right now.
