As the Deputy is aware, a wide range of documentation related to the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) has been published to date. Letters, agendas, and minutes arising from the NPHET and its subgroups are available on the Department of Health website. The papers that were discussed at NPHET meetings from 30 January 2020 to 25 February 2020 inclusive are also now available to view on the DOH website at .

Work is continuing to enable the publication of the papers from further NPHET meetings on the website as quickly as possible, with additional papers to be published regularly going forward. I understand that there have been some delays to this process recently in order to ensure that immediate priorities were attended to as expeditiously as possible, however I have now directed that publication of the document mentioned by the Deputy take place as soon as possible.
