Mr. Paul Reid:

On the breakdown of staff, it is fluid. It is a smaller percentage than we were dealing with in the first phase, as Ms O'Connor said. We want to keep it that way and give the protections that are needed, but we cannot provide a breakdown because it changes, as I mentioned.

I will ask Dr. Henry to comment on the number of GPs. We saw an improvement last year in the pipeline of GPs coming through from training colleges, and that is one thing we want to keep going.

With regard to the prevention of the next surge, I will make some brief comments. Obviously, there has been learning both from what happened in the first phase and what is happening in this phase. One of the strongest messages is that the public health measures are the strongest first line of defence. Quite often, we talk about building hospital capacity and ICU capacity, which is important, and we talk about building our testing and tracing capacity, and they are important. However, our first line of defence is our public health measures and what we, as individuals and a society, take on board. There are learnings from the first phase, where we exited and the economy opened up in May, June and July, and then we saw a significant increase in August, September and particularly in October. The one thing that holds true, as we look forward to the next phase, is the public health measures around social distancing, infection prevention and control, how we mix with our families and how many households we mix between. Those are the part of our measures that will remain very consistent and strong, regardless of what level the economy is at or what level the Government decides we are in. That is the biggest line of defence and the biggest armoury we have against further surges in the community. Of course, there are learnings in terms of how we protect the vulnerable and nursing homes, and we have seen some of those learnings in this phase.

Strictly on Naas hospital, we are dealing with a very significant issue there and, indeed, in another couple of hospitals around the country. In terms of outbreaks, I do not have the numbers per sebut it is a very live issue, a very real issue, which we are dealing with, literally as we are sitting here and before we came here, and we will be dealing with it afterwards because they are under significant pressure in Naas.

I will ask Ms O’Connor to comment on the home packages and perhaps Mr. Woods will comment on the capital programme for Naas overall.
