Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Covid-19 in Nursing Homes

Ms Yvonne O'Neill:

Yes. That accommodation has been made available to all staff where they believe their home settings cannot give them the level of infection prevention control that they want. Other members of staff who have not taken up accommodation offers have, as Mr. Daly referenced, made sacrifices in their personal lives to minimise the potential for them to bring infection into the home. There have been multiple efforts, including accommodation provision and personal efforts by all our staff.
