Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes (Resumed)
Mary Butler (Waterford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Mr. Reid was before the committee a month ago. I asked similar questions and I was not satisfied by the answers. Mr. Reid replied to me that "That is a process we would have done, and that was the right thing to do at the point in time of doing it." Does he still stand over that reply? I am very concerned that if there is a resurgence of the pandemic and we take the same approach of transferring patients from acute hospital settings to nursing homes without testing them, that approach will be wrong.
