Mr. Paul Reid:

I fully understand this. I am on record as saying that we want to get this to the right level we need. The Deputy mentioned that the vast majority of the public are vaccinated. While that is true, we need to understand that there are still risks for pregnant women. We know that a significant proportion of pregnant women have not been vaccinated. We are trying to move this forward in a very real way with the support of the advocacy groups. The Deputy mentioned those.

On the specific issue of times, we would not define those to the level the Deputy mentioned for each of the 19 maternity units. We would expect the units to do that in a very reasonable way. We were very clear about what we wanted to see in the NICUs in one of the first four criteria we set out. We have set out another five since then, but that was in one of the first four we set out. I am sorry I cannot confirm if it is 19 NICUs.
