I will keep my question short in order to allow the Minister to respond. Other Deputies have raised concerns around the lack of clarity regarding timelines, logistics and people's places in the vaccine allocation groups. I also raise the issue of kidney patients, particularly those on dialysis, and cystic fibrosis patients, who require additional clinical preparation. I have also heard from different GPs and staff in their surgeries about the lack of clarity around the allocation of vaccines. They have registered on the portal and they are inundated with requests and messages. The same is true of pharmacists and pharmacy staff. More information is required. I am conscious that timelines are subject to supply being available but it is much better to avoid an information vacuum, which will only generate speculation and anxiety among the public.
