Dr. Kevin Kelleher:

We accept that fully and we will take that information back with us. It has to be recognised that two separate things are happening. One is what the Deputy has described, that is, how people have had to cope with the work impact and everything else. Separate to that is the fact that this virus, like all viruses, has its own longer-term impact on people. We have to be careful about trying to make sure that we deal with both of those issues because they are both very important.

All viruses have longer term sequelae that we need to be clear about, and we have to learn about coronavirus and its longer-term sequelae. We are trying to do both of those things at this point. We will take on board what has been said because we want to make sure that staff get access to the appropriate advice. I am not sure I want to keep using the term "post-traumatic syndrome", but that, along with the longer-term impact of the virus, are the issues facing staff in reality.
