Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Final Report of Nursing Homes Expert Panel (Resumed)

Ms Sandra Tuohy:

I will take the question on accommodation. For a number of months, the HSE has been providing private hotel accommodation for staff who need to self-isolate from their own households as a result of outbreaks within nursing homes and for staff who are themselves living in overcrowded private housing. We will continue to provide such accommodation for people who are outside of the temporary assistance payment scheme, which is offered to the private nursing homes.
