Okay. It is important. We have seen the benefit of vaccines, particularly over the past two years, when it comes to saving lives. A cost of €400 to €600 for a family whose daughter or son wishes to avail of a catch-up vaccine is no longer feasible and must be eliminated. I look forward to hearing about that.

There was an announcement by the Government of free contraceptives for girls aged between 18 and 24. Where are we with that programme? There has been €9 million committed in the service plan. How much training has been provided on the long-acting reversible contraception and have many medics signed up to it? What is the geographical spread and how is the information campaign progressing? It is a very important area of women's healthcare.
