Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Briefing by HSE Officials
Mr. Paul Reid:
The way we want to do this is directly through the GP and the individual. That is the route we have taken throughout this process.
There are exceptional cases where public health officials have a responsibility and have a derogation in terms of managing a major outbreak. That would be a responsibility that they take in extremely exceptional cases such as in a pandemic or a major outbreak.
