Healthcare Policy
Dail Éireann — 2020-09-24
============================================================

Violet-Anne Wynne (SF), Clare

I appreciate the Minister of State's presence. The Minister for Health, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, needs to look into this matter personally. We need to end the blanket ban on visitors in our hospitals and other care facilities. We need more humanity, more leadership and more solutions. Warm winter gardens could be considered for nursing homes. We are social creatures after all, and we need our families and loved ones when we are at our most vulnerable.
