Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (Resumed)
Dr. Kevin Kelleher:
I have been a doctor for 40 years and I am ashamed that we still have the same problem today that I faced 40 years ago. It must change dramatically. Ms Hoey will speak a bit more on this but we are very much committed to making sure people work much fewer hours than they often do. As I said, some of that difficulty has to do with people's commitment to do the work. We have to get that difficulty across as we try to rectify those things.
