We have; we spent the summer working on that. The vaccine has sprung into prominence in the public debate over the past month or so, but we were
working on that though the whole of last year, and I am glad to be able to assure the right hon. Gentleman that there is further expansion still to come.
I will end my speech by reiterating that we know that if we do not act now, eventually the NHS will not be able to cope. No Member of this House wants to witness the scenes that have been seen elsewhere in the world of hospitals overrun and doctors forced to choose who to treat and who to turn away. Although the winter weeks will be difficult, we now know what the way out looks like. Accelerating the deployment of covid vaccines, making the most vulnerable groups safe, and everyone playing their part on the way is the route out of this pandemic.
