Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Briefing by HSE Officials
Mr. Paul Reid:
The significant cost of PPE is largely driven by the volume that we are supplying, the price on the global market and the reach that is required because the equipment needs to be provided beyond the HSE sector. Part of the strategy that we keenly wish to pursue is to get Irish manufacturers to recalibrate their businesses in order to provide PPE. We very much see that as part of stimulating the economy for the future.
