‘In order to arrive at the best possible estimate of the number of injections performed, from January 31 2021 the figure will temporarily be supplanted by a arithmetical assumption,’ the government said on its coronavirus dashboard.
It said that while the network of local health boards (GGD) update their vaccination figures daily, the two other sources of data – hospitals and the long-term care sector – took longer to process the numbers, so their figures will be estimated from now on.
But the National Acute Care Network (LNAZ) described De Jonge’s statement as ‘blatantly untrue’ and refuted the suggestion that hospitals were giving incomplete information.
