1823. To ask the Minister for Health to clarify the reason supply of PPE that private and voluntary nursing homes have been receiving through the HSE since the start of the pandemic to support residents needs is being discontinued except in outbreak circumstances; if he will accept that this will place additional financial burdens on these facilities including a nursing home (details supplied) in County Tipperary; if he will reconsider proposals to discontinue the supply of HSE PPE in order to create parity of treatment with HSE run nursing homes; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
