Professor Cecily Kelleher:

I will come in on the points around the terms of reference because they are important. We were given those terms of reference to ensure that preparedness would be in place, based on international evidence. We did a wide stakeholder consultation with every agency that has a responsibility in this area. We also consulted the general public, nursing homes and the relatives and families of people who had been affected. We were very focused on the lessons to be learned and the preparedness that was needed in the work we were doing. We have learned a great deal more. We would all share the Deputy's hope that if we go through a resurgence of this virus, we will be prepared, understand the condition, know who the vulnerable patients and residents are, and have adequate PPE and other infection prevention and control pieces in place. The key things include having in-house capacity to take swabs, rapid testing and a responsive HSE. We are keeping a firm advocacy position on making sure that those things are being done.
