Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (Resumed)
Mr. Liam Woods:
We already, as Dr. Rogers has said, have a number of pilots under way and we will certainly be looking to support those. We will also be in dialogue with the GP community seeking to support in as much as we can the location of appropriate care in the community. In volume terms, I cannot give the Deputy a number right now but we are seeing this as a significant piece of our winter planning. We are open to acquiring as much diagnostic capacity as we can to meet this demand.
