Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (6 Oct 2022) Brian Stanley: I will revert to the personal protective equipment, PPE, issue, and hand sanitiser in particular and the best by date.

We and all of Europe were caught in this situation. We were at the epicentre of the Covid-19 pandemic and we understand that and the work that was done to counter that.

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (6 Oct 2022) Brian Stanley: I understand that. One of the reasons for this was that it was a sellers’ market at that point in the spring of 2020. One of the reasons, in turn, was that it turned out that we did not have any indigenous sources.

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (6 Oct 2022) Brian Stanley: That would be to reassure people because Aer Lingus and some airline companies did some good work on putting on special flights to China and so forth at the time. It is hard to prepare for every emergency but if one thing emerged from that pandemic, it showed that western Europe was caught out and we need to be more prepared in future. I have a couple of final questions. On home care,...
