738. To ask the Minister for Health the reason a student (details supplied) is currently being denied access to their clinical placement on the grounds that they declined to disclose their Covid-19 vaccination status by a person, despite the fact that they were previously placed in the Mater Hospital for the month of May 2021 and the HSE guidelines do not preclude unvaccinated students from going on placement; if advice can be provided to this student detailing the measures they may take to ensure that their placement hours are met this year, as they have now missed four weeks of placement; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In relation to the particular query raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
