Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Use of Private Hospitals (Resumed)

Mr. Liam Woods:

The laboratories in hospitals continued to operate and did perform tests. Were cancer tests required through, say, a rapid access clinic, they were happening. The point the Deputy is after is for screening which can give rise to tests. The screening had been paused. That was a real effect. As I said earlier, it is a priority to get that back and running in a safe way.
