I thank the witnesses for being here today and answering our questions. I only have five minutes and I will be brief. I hope the responses will also be accurate and brief.

Deputy McAuliffe referred to the testing available to healthcare workers. I am conscious that we need to be prepared for a second wave if it comes. I refer to the supply chain for PPE, in particular the roll-out in the early stages of the first phase of the pandemic to public hospitals and private settings.

What assurances can the witnesses give that sufficient stock exists and that PPE will be rolled out to the various community and public health settings?
