We see other hospital groups, such as that in west Cork, bringing in GPs but it is not happening in Clare. They will have to wait an awfully long time. I know it is an operational issue but I ask the Minister to look at it. With regard to vaccinations reaching hospital groups, we were all delighted to see vaccinations been rolled out in Dublin in recent weeks but it took two and a half more weeks for it to come to the mid-west group of hospitals.

A nursing home in County Clare has a Covid outbreak. All of the patients there were tentatively waiting for a vaccination date but now it cannot happen. How will it be rejigged? Perhaps the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, will respond briefly.
