828. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has be drawn to the fact that a number of non-patient facing senior mental health managers in CHO4 were offered first-dose Covid-19 vaccines in early January 2021 ahead of vulnerable patient and staff groups, including older adults residing in congregated settings and nursing staff working in these settings; his plans to investigate the number of senior managers who had considerable influence over the roll-out of the vaccine in local services who availed of priority vaccines at this critical stage of the pandemic in the knowledge that vulnerable patient and staff groups were not yet scheduled for vaccines; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
