We hear various percentages referred to in the context of the 8,000 healthcare workers identified with Covid in this country. There are various figures. What is Dr. Sisson's view of the percentage of the total healthcare workforce? We got a breakdown from her in the report on the profile of Covid-19 cases among healthcare workers and it cuts across all areas from administration to care assistants to nursing staff to doctors. Approximately 135,000 people work in the HSE between full-time staff and part-time staff. Probably another 30,000 work in private nursing home facilities. Reference was made to 8,000 workers, but in real terms, what is the calculation of the percentage of workers who were affected by Covid-19?
