We are learning more and more every week and we had Dr. David Nabarro back here some weeks ago talking about the long-term implications of having had and recovered from Covid-19. He has recovered loosely because one of the ongoing features is long-term fatigue. Ms Murphy alluded to that initially and I may come back to it. From a policy perspective, does Ms Ní Sheaghdha feel there is a need now to review the work rosters or structures so the 12-hour shift arrangement recognises the ongoing nature of fatigue in this illness?
