============================================================

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

The key test we are using is whether the workers were involved in the provision of healthcare. As the Deputy knows, we included, in respect of private employment, people working in nursing homes and hospices. The Department of Health is now drawing up the detailed guidelines. There will certainly be some people working with section 39 organisations who are directly involved in healthcare provision. We are looking in particular at the whole area of congregated settings because they are very similar in nature to nursing homes. All those details are currently being worked out.
