The COVID-19 Evaluation is an independent entity. It decides on all matters relating to its operation, including its procedures and its programme of work. Guided by its publicly available , the overall objective of the Evaluation is to help learn lessons. Its wide remit incorporates pandemic responses across hospitals, the community and nursing homes, along with wider economic and societal impacts.

Information on the Evaluation’s phased programme of work and information on how people can engage directly with the work of the Evaluation Panel is available on the Evaluation’s dedicated website www.covid19evaluation.ie.
