Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. Paul Reid:

I thank the Deputy for his comments. I can give him two figures. The number of residents and staff in long-term nursing homes is just over 75,000 people in total. On the number of vaccinations in long-term care facilities, which my colleague, Mr. Damien McCallion, can clarify, it is more than 90,000 people, including residents and staff. That includes nursing homes, as well as mental health, disability and other older care settings.
