If that report could be provided to the committee, it would be useful.

Regarding healthcare workers, Phil Ní Sheaghdha of the INMO made a very powerful presentation to the committee the other day. She made the comment, which stands up to scrutiny, that in Ireland the prevalence of Covid-19 infection among healthcare workers is the highest in the world. The Taoiseach has tried to undermine those figures by quoting a different set of figures. Does Dr. Henry accept that the prevalence of Covid-19 infection among healthcare workers as an overall percentage of the population infected is the highest in the world?
