Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services (Resumed)

Ms Rosemary Smyth:

Yes. We have taken into consideration the training records of any training that relies on point-to-point contact between individuals. That would include CPR, manual handling, and prevention and management of aggression and violence. In our inspection plan for going back out to do inspections, which we did this week, we have built in an allowance for that and how we intend to address it. I will ask Dr. Finnerty to address that.
