Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes (Resumed)
Mr. David Walsh:
I can answer that. When we started large-scale testing in nursing homes turnaround times were not where they needed to be. That has improved week on week, and there is still some improvement to be got. The GP referrals are now working very well. We need the same turnaround for nursing home testing and any employment-related testing.
