I will again raise an issue I raised this morning. It relates to the number of healthcare workers who have been identified as having Covid. Some 2,878 of these had an underlying medical condition. That figure is very high. Where a person had an underlying health problem, were serious efforts made to ensure they were not put at risk? Was a protocol in this regard available to each and every healthcare facility and hospital? Take, for argument's sake, someone who had previously had treatment for cancer and who was now working on a ward where they may be vulnerable to contracting Covid. Was a protocol in place for hospital managers and managers of wards for dealing with such employees?
