Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (Resumed)

Mr. Liam Woods:

I acknowledge the point about University Hospital Waterford. On extended day and indeed access to diagnostics generally we are, as part of our winter planning, working to facilitate further access to diagnostics for GPs. We are also working with the NTPF to see what we can do to optimally use the equipment we have with the staff resource we have. We have done that over the past couple of winters and it has worked very well so we are seeking to grow that now.
