Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Regulation of Nursing Homes and Development of a New Model of Care for Older People: Discussion
Annie Hoey (Labour) | Oireachtas source
I thank the witnesses for being with us this morning. Can any of them offer some insight on the following issue?
Some weeks ago, there was a radio interview about the uptake of the vaccine among staff working in nursing homes. There was discussion around offering prizes and so on to tempt people into taking up the offer. Has there been any improvement or are there still people resisting it? Has the AstraZeneca debacle had any impact? Is there confidence that the vast majority of staff been vaccinated and only a small minority are not?
