Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Review of the Reopening of Schools (Resumed)
Ms Lorraine Dempsey:
Deputy Carthy felt that was the inference. What I said is that Covid has compounded the issue of waiting lists. It was not inferred that it was a result of Covid; it is a long-standing problem. I have been before a couple of committees down through the years reiterating the issue of waiting lists for children. Covid has certainly compounded those waiting lists and they are only going in a negative direction currently.
