I have asked the HSE to reply to the Deputy concerning the first part of the question.
With regard to the second part, the Medical Council has advised that the first restorations to the Medical Council Register via the COVID 19 route were on Thursday 19 March 2020. There are currently 397 doctors who have restored to the register via the COVID route. In addition to this 91 doctors have restored their names to the register via the normal restoration route since 10 March 2020.
