My thanks to Deputy Shortall. There are more questions there than I will be able to answer in 50 seconds, so let me try to move quickly. The Deputy should have received an answer on Moderna. I have intervened previously to ensure she got answers and I will chase that up. That should not happen. If I give a commitment to any Deputy that he or she will get an answer from me, that should happen.

Deputy Shortall's critique on data is unfair, to be honest. There are daily figures up on the app. Only last week, the Deputy and others asked for the supply data. We put the data up the same day and put them up again yesterday. The Deputy is saying it took too long but we will simply have to agree to disagree on that.

The Deputy asked about the first dose versus the second dose and the ratio changing. I presume that is because of adding AstraZeneca, and the longer time between the mRNA vaccines and AstraZeneca will change that because of the longer period. In fairness, the Deputy asked last week for a plan on how we will scale up in the second quarter. The Deputy should have received the answer and I will chase that up as well.
