Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Covid-19 in Nursing Homes

Dr. Kathleen MacLellan:

I might take that question and then ask my colleague, Mr. Redmond, to come in. The expert panel worked at speed. It was very conscious of the need to get as much learning as quickly as possible and to bring that back to all of us around the table so that any improvements that could be made, would be made. It engaged quite significantly and directly with nursing homes. Virtual site visits were conducted with a number of nursing homes so that the panel could hear directly what was happening within those homes. I might ask Mr. Redmond to come in to provide some more detail on that consultation piece.
