Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion

Dr. Clive Kilgallen:

Many colleagues who got Covid were working on overcrowded wards. That is very likely where they got their Covid. I suspect they did not catch it anywhere else. I know more than one consultant who has long Covid. They are really ill and cannot work. They are shattered by it. It has changed their lives. These people must be supported. It is as simple as that. There is nothing more to say.
