786. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to HSE employees, specifically workers in area (details supplied) being requested to attend on site for work during the current level 5 lockdown to complete work which they are able to do remotely and carried out remotely during previous lockdowns.

In line with the Government’s advice, public health service employers and managers are required to ensure that employees whose roles can be done remotely are facilitated to work from home during this period to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and restrict footfall at the workplace to the greatest extent possible. Only those employees whose physical attendance at the workplace is essential should be in the work premises.

I understand that the HSE have this week issued a HR Memo reinforcing this point in relation to Attendance in the work premises/ Working from home during Level 5 restrictions.

I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy in relation to the Primary Care Reimbursement Service.
