To the member's point of order, as the health minister was just interjecting across the chamber, this relates to NDIS participants in residential settings. That is 8,440 doses that have been delivered, and that is for some 5,855 people. I don't think we're making enough progress quickly here. I don't think we are, and the minister for the NDIS and I, together with the health minister, have met with the team oversighting these vaccinations to see that the in-reach services are better targeted. But what this number—being far higher than the figure that was quoted to the hearing—indicates is that people living with a disability find themselves able to access vaccinations in a range of different settings, and we are ensuring, by direct contact with those in these settings, that we can better target the delivery of those doses to them.
