Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Covid-19 in Nursing Homes

Ms Sandra Tuohy:

I will submit a list of all the voluntary agencies that have been invited to attend those monthly meetings with the HSE. The monthly engagement is an opportunity for us to be updated on outbreaks and matters related to Covid-19. Additionally, it is an opportunity for those agencies to offer advice to the HSE on direction of travel and how we might do things differently. The meetings once a month are very much collaborative. Those meetings were occurring every two weeks at the beginning of the crisis but it became more and more difficult to get people to attend. I will get a list of the relevant agencies and send it to the committee.
