Mr. Paul Reid:

The Deputy touched on a range of supports such as PPE. As we discussed, there are other supports in place, for example, staff supports and Covid response teams, which are integrated teams with various clinical and specialist skills. Those supports will continue. We will continue to do the right thing until such time as we have the virus under control, both in the community and in terms of these highly vulnerable and frail elements of the population. We will continue to provide these supports. Suffice to say, the schemes that have been put in place through the Department and the HSE are being drawn down significantly. The PPE we have acquired is very significant. We will continue to do the right thing for these vulnerable populations until such time as we are confident that the virus is under control. It is a significant cross to bear and there has been a significant increase in HSE expenditure to date. This will continue towards year end as we continue to do the right thing.
