This is why we need to be very clear on the number. If there are other people involved in tracing, the HSE officials should tell us and put it in the briefing notes they give us. The note states: "We currently have a total of 581 staff available to work on routine contact tracing." Therefore it is confirmed that 274 of those are people who have been recently recruited and 214 are HSE. Does it also include the 160 environmental health officers or are they separate?
