Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Covid-19 Public Health Measures: Update from Health Service Executive

Mr. Paul Reid:

Our overall project manager dedicated to this is Damien McCallion. We have a dedicated supply chain SRO, who is Seán Breslin. We have a dedicated SRO for logistics. It is a joint SRO programme involving Seán Breslin and Dr. Lucy Jessop. That is the structure we have on that.

Coming back to numbers, again I am trying to give the Deputy every bit of information I have available today. We will certainly follow it up with the rest. I will give some numbers for that third week. Initially we needed to get to 65 practices in this week, involving 750 patients out of the total of 72,500. Between 25 and 40 practices had a range of impacts relating to consumables, as the Deputy said, or reduced supplies across the country. On those two figures, 65 GPs which reduced to 30 for this week for buddying up and delayed deliveries to those and between 25 and 50, I am happy to get the Deputy a further summary.
