Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Workforce Planning in Acute and Community Care Settings: Discussion
Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha:
Safe childcare must be provided to facilitate those nurses attending work, particularly those who are essential workers. Some countries have kept schools open to make that facility available for healthcare workers. London did that. There are many examples. We make the decision in respect of schools as if it will not have any effect on the next service, which is the health service, but it does.
