Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Covid-19 in Nursing Homes

Ms Yvonne O'Neill:

The Deputy will probably be aware from the presentation last Friday by our colleagues that our chief clinical officer, in consultation with the Government, has produced a sequencing document around roll-out of the vaccine. There is engagement directly on identification of those religious communities where there are vulnerable older people and their carers. We are aware of, and have provided supports to, facilities where there are identified outbreaks. We are aware of outbreaks in a number of them and we are working with the stakeholder groups that represent them.
