Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers
Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha:
We also know, for example, in the staff nurse grade, that since last December the increase, if one wants to call it that, was 238. We are still not at the 39,000 we had in 2007. We are more and more reliant on unqualified students to provide services when we know they should not.
