I will indeed ask the HSE to produce a roadmap on testing. It may have done that already. There are lots of documents being developed all the time and lots of drafts that people will be aware of, but that would be a useful thing for the HSE to do and I will certainly take that up with the HSE CEO.

On the Deputy's final point, there are about 40 laboratories now that can test for Covid. I have not heard of any being prohibited from testing nursing homes samples. Perhaps that is the case but I cannot confirm it is the case.
