I am inquiring about the number of persons involved in testing and tracing as part of the Covid-19 response who were transferred to this work from other sections of the HSE. People who previously provided therapies and so on have been transferred to testing and tracing. I ask the Minister to explain why it was not possible to leave those workers in their positions and hire other people to do this necessary testing and tracing work.
