Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha:

Again, we said the initial roll-out of the vaccine was very unsatisfactory. That is why we have the agreed sequencing document which will see patient-facing healthcare workers prioritised. We believe independent scrutiny of that is necessary. Mental health nurses, public heath nurses and community registered general nurses, RGNs, were going into people's homes, but not being prioritised for the vaccine. There is much criticism from the front line of nursing and midwifery in respect of the manner in which the initial roll-out of the vaccine was organised.
