Dr. Kevin Kelleher:

To be clear on that point, this is totally free for anybody. The Government has in place an agreement with general practice that even if people are not in the general medical services, GMS, scheme, this is a totally free process. The call and testing is totally free for the individual, regardless of GMS status. Everybody can call up and there is no barrier whatever. As the members quite rightly say, the big issue here is getting people to recognise this and come forward. That is part of the public campaign and we have heard Dr. Holohan speaking about it, as well as the rest of us. It is a very important matter. The second part is trying to get people away from social contact once they have symptoms. It is one of the most important parts of this process.
