Paul Donnelly (SF), Dublin West

The programme for Government states:
The new government will ensure that as services resume, they are delivered in a planned, appropriate and considered manner. Our priority is to protect public health, patients and to ensure capacity for future surges of COVID-19.
I am a member of the Dublin 15 community drug team. We had a board meeting last Friday and one of the serious issues that arose was funding, particularly for personal protective equipment, PPE. Unfortunately, to date, the only PPE that has been given to the community drug team, as far as I know from reading the report, was a box of face masks. If such teams are to reopen in September, it is very important that funding be given to all community drug teams.
