Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Childcare: Impact of Covid-19

Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha:

The figure provided by the HSE as to the number of healthcare workers infected is 8,180. The figures are broken down by geographic area but do not set out the workplace locations.

With regard to childcare, in our survey in respect of those for whom childcare was a difficulty we asked those who responded to identify where they worked. Some 61% said they worked in public acute services, including acute hospitals, 3.8% worked in private acute hospitals, 1.5% in private care services for older persons, 5.9% in public care services for older persons, 15.6% in public community care and 7.5% in disability services.
