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

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

The first point I would make, which the HSE would make if its representatives were here, is that the HSE is not waiting for a point in time to resume non-Covid care. I know that Deputy Kelly knows this too and is aware of it from hospitals in his constituency. The number of vacant hospital beds has significantly decreased, despite the fact that the number of patients with Covid-19 in our hospitals has also, thankfully, decreased.
