Covid-19 (Health): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-07
============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I cannot say what the Deputy does or does not read, and I do not mean that in a rude way. I know a significant body of work was done by the HPSC in drawing up and publishing guidance and we know there has been a lot of work by the Department of Justice and Equality in that regard. My Department gives out the guidance.
On private hospitals, I will send the table I have with me to the Deputy. We are meant to have, and are purposely choosing to have, some vacant capacity for a potential second wave.
