I know Deputy Smyth will agree that our health service workers and their unions have been incredibly flexible where redeployment is concerned. I have never seen co-operation like what we have seen from all the unions and representative bodies during the Covid-19 crisis. That issue arises as we begin to deploy people back to where they originally came from. People want to get back to their day jobs where it is safe and appropriate to do so. We will need to have a discussion about what an agreement for redeployment in a second scenario should look like. I have had some initial informal discussions with some unions in that regard and I know the HSE intends to progress that more formally.
