Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes (Resumed)
Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Nursing Homes Ireland was repeatedly calling for guidance on patient transfer. On 10 March the HSE issued guidance to Nursing Homes Ireland and it responded to the HSE to basically say that it was not good enough, it wanted testing of patients before they were transferred and it wanted PPE. Does the HSE now believe it was a mistake to transfer patients into nursing home settings without being tested first?
