Committee on Public Petitions
Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir (Resumed): Health Service Executive
Ms Kate Killeen White:
I will come in there, Chairman, if that is okay. I thank Deputy Mattie McGrath for his questions and comments. They are appreciated.
I will make a couple of points, if I may. In relation to the premises, I outlined some of the shortcomings that were there: the isolation requirements; the requirements for physical distancing; the fact that one ward did not have access to showering facilities and that those individuals had to go downstairs to access a shower; and concerns with regard to infection prevention and control.
