I am happy to provide the Deputy with a note on that but it is changing, sometimes daily. For example, in recent days we got about 24 hours notice that this week's delivery of the Pfizer vaccine, instead of being about 40,000 would be 20,000. As we are getting a sixth dose, we are getting an agreed amount of vials that give 40,000 doses, but we are getting a lot more out of them. That is new. The reduction for this week is new. I am happy to provide the Deputy with what we have but would make the point that the big game changer is AstraZeneca. We do not have a decision on AstraZeneca. We are working hard to see when that can be brought in.
