Text
The Member will be aware of the arrangements that are in place, particularly in relation to compensation. The issue in focus at the moment is about making sure that we are dealing with the same strain that we dealt with previously. There are arrangements in place for that, and that is why there will be no immediate changes as a result of the case in Wexford. The most important thing to do is to monitor in order to ensure that no different strains appear in Northern Ireland. If they do, we will have to respond differently, as we did last year.
