Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Briefing by HSE Officials
Mr. Paul Reid:
To answer the Deputy's last question first, those contracts are just for the duration of the agreement. The heads of terms with the hospital agreement is very clear. It is for a specific period, and any decisions to renew that will be ultimately based on a recommendation from ourselves and the HSE board, as well as by the Department, ultimately the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Government. It might be decided to go into some different arrangement in the future. These are all the considerations which will have to be made in the coming weeks.
