798. To ask the Minister for Health if a pay agreement has been reached between the HSE and an organisation (details supplied) to continue providing financial support for the supply of PPE to the private homecare sector in view of the fact that the initial agreement expired on 31 May 2020.

Standard PPE will continue to be the responsibility of private providers for non-COVID-19 clients. However, HSE will provide appropriate additional PPE supplies to Home Support Providers in relation to clients confirmed to have COVID-19 on the clear understanding that the individual service provider will deliver appropriate Infection Protection and Control training to its staff.

However as this is a service matter I have referred this matter to the HSE for direct reply.
