Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes

Mr. Tadhg Daly:

Possibly, but the issue was not finance at all. The issue was PPE generally, as it just was not available. Members were sourcing it, they were buying it overseas and buying it locally. Finance was not the issue - let us be absolutely clear on that. The issue was that it was a scarce commodity in an international market and the source of supply had dried up, not just for nursing homes but for all elements of the health service.
