The Minister mentioned the Chief Medical Officer. Will it be standard for every applicant that it automatically goes to the Chief Medical Officer or does somebody have to appeal where they feel they should be prioritised? Can we get more detail on how that will be rolled out? It is a good point that is not just about age but could also be on medical grounds.
