Ms Laura Casey:

Not within the legislative system. The pandemic presented unique challenges and placed a focus on the need for system-level and central-level guidance, which I think is the point the Chair made. There was much work done during the pandemic on the Health Protection Surveillance Centre, HPSC, and work on various different arms of the HSE in terms of the provision of care guidance based on best evidence and evolving evidence at the time. However, that is not something that is provided for within the system.
