Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes (Resumed)
Mr. Paul Reid:
There will be a number of ways. With respect to the Deputy's general point on learning, this is related to Deputy Butler's comment. We need to ensure we learn from this and the HSE wants to ensure we can learn from it. I have just outlined some of the actions, and a number will be for the HSE directly. Our Covid-19 response teams have made an impact and we have managed to put our arms around all homes, both private and public, to a greater extent. It is a big lesson for us with respect to sustaining the integrated teams and the draw this will, quite correctly, have on us. We will continue with those teams.
