Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Childcare: Impact of Covid-19
Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha:
The figures are on page 4 of our survey of our members. Some 10% were using preschools, 37% were using primary schools and another 10% were using secondary schools. Almost 60% of those surveyed, therefore, were reliant on schools to allow them to have some element of their working days covered. That is pretty big. We would look to other countries in Europe that have prioritised schools, when they reopen, for the children of healthcare workers.
