Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes (Resumed)
Mr. Paul Reid:
I thank the Deputy for her comments regarding the process we were engaged in at the start of this, and, as I keep saying, whatever learning we can develop we are certainly wide open to them.
There is no direct analysis that we have completed of all patients who would have been transferred at this stage. I will make the point - and I acknowledge that the Deputy quoted what Mr. Tadhg Daly had mentioned - that there will be learning as we move through, but the strongest evidence is of community transmission-----
