Covid-19 (Health): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-06-04
============================================================

James Browne (FF), Wexford

I have a number of questions. First, will the Minister confirm whether the refreshed A Vision for Change will be brought to Cabinet this week for the purposes of publication? Second, has there been any progress on establishing a cross-departmental task force on mental health, which will be very badly needed? Third, can the Minister give clarity on physiotherapy? I have had a number of requests from physiotherapists, including neuromuscular physiotherapists, and those in similar professions, who seem to have a lack of clarity as to when they will reopen. Fourth, on a similar question with regard to screening programmes, it would appear that all non-essential retail services can reopen at the end of the month and that would appear to include sunbed facilities. It would be quite grating for the public if people could get a sunbed at the end of the month but are not able to get cancer screening.
