I also acknowledge the significant work done by all the services, commiserate with the many people who have lost their lives because of Covid-19 and recognise the trauma experienced by families with a loved one who has been sick. We are conscious that we are in an emergency. This is really what we are dealing with here. I propose to ask a number of questions but I do not expect the Minister to respond to them now. If he can respond to them later or in writing, that would be more than appropriate.
