Sounded so patronising.

I think it was down to nerves but it was god awful.

Sounded like he was communicating to those with single digit IQ's, that is not my experience of those with mental health issues.

I read from that the devolved administrations have been told, here’s your (fantasy land) supply schedule but don’t make it public as we don’t want to be held to it when it’s proved to be bullshit and we don’t actually have those contracts in place.

Where did you read that?

Yip pretty much. Clever tactic from the SG assuming they were aware of a supply issue actually managing to get the UKGs original stated supply details into the public domain.

The Vaccine minister (Zahari ?) Refused to answer questions on supply yesterday at a commons committee, explains why.

Has there been any figures released for how many people fall under the category of elderly/vulnerable/health care workers in Scotland (and to a lesser extent the rest of the UK)? 

The document which was on the Scottish government site last night, but has now been removed (presumably to fix a couple of errors?) had the following:

1. Residents and care home workers, over 80s - 325k
2. Patient-facing health care workers, lab staff & social care staff - 230k
3. Over 75s - 190k
4. Over 70s, extremely vulnerable - 390k
5. Over 65s - 280k
6. Unpaid carers, those with underlying health conditions - 1.01m
7. Over 60s - 280k
8. Over 55s - 330k
9. Over 50s - 340k

That gives a total of 3.375m in their nine priority categories.

If they were aware of it, yet plowed ahead on setting a target of 1.4m by the end of February anyway, then that's absolutely foolish, and deserving of ridicule.

Laughable
One of the two GP practices after posting on FB that they were taking delivery of their first batch on Monday have since announced they will be issuing the first appointments from 25 January. FB went into meltdown blaming SG distribution only for the practice to clarify that the practice nurse was on holiday next week. It's issues throughout the chain from supply and procurement right down to petty stuff like nurses on leave !

I assume they were / are trying to force the UKG hand which is 100% correct not to accept their crap as you keep telling us we should do with the SG.

They have not said they don't have what they stated, it's future supply time scales that has been questioned by the sounds of it.

NS reiterated yet again they remain on target.

Its already noticeable that the numbers are released in terms of total amount done, as opposed to how many took place yesterday.

It therefore results in A) reporting a nice big number each day and B) forces the reader to enter into a bit of maths, and a bit memory jogging in order to deduct yesterday's total from today's new one.

Aye, because that is so difficult as to put folk off.

If there is a physical supply issue, then you can't force their hand as there isn't any product. 

If it's an agreement and they say "we're going to give you less as we need it more" then that's different.

Will do some - in fact will do quite a lot I'd bet.

My point isn't that the task is difficult, rather why set the reader a task at all? They manage to announce deaths and infections on a day-by-day basis, so why is it not being done here?

If 16k vaccinations were adminsitered yesterday, just say it.
