On the meeting next week, it is not just the HSE. It predominantly deals with the testing and has overall responsibility for tracing but it is important to separate the two. Tracing is predominantly the job of public health experts. With some of this stuff, when one asks Mr. Paul Reid a question about testing and tracing, he says public health or NPHET instructs the HSE on what to do. We need a public health expert at the meeting as well, such as Ms Niamh O'Beirne who is the lead on testing and tracing. She would be the person to see.
