Simon Coveney (FG), Cork South-Central

The temporary scheme of paid leave was developed by the Department of Health for certain public health sector employees who were unfit for work after a Covid-19 infection. That scheme is due to end on 31 March, which is the end of this month, but I will raise the issue with the Minister and ask him to come back to the Deputy directly rather than giving him a stale answer here. I understand what the Deputy is saying but I would like to understand the numbers that are impacted and their circumstances. I presume the Department of Health has these details. I will ask the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, to come back directly to the Deputy if that is helpful.
