I can inform the Deputy that the Community Response Forums are administered by the Local Authorities which are under the remit of the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government. Therefore, it is not possible for my Department to provide the information requested.
The Community Call initiative is a coming together of national government, local government and the community and voluntary sector, to put in place a safety net for people who are cocooning or self-isolating and need extra help at this time, particularly if their usual networks of support are not able to reach them.
On Friday, 27 March 2020, following the announcement by the Taoiseach of the introduction of strict measures to control the spread of COVID-19, my colleague, the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government directed all local authority chief executives to establish a Community Call Forum to respond to the needs of the most vulnerable in their communities.
Each Community Call Forum brings together all the principal response agencies in the public sector, including the HSE, An Garda Síochána and Civil Defence, and Community and Voluntary organisations responding locally to this emergency.
The role of the Forum is to ensure that everyone who needs support is identified, that the support required is carefully assessed and that the appropriate support is provided by a tried and trusted source. Each Forum is providing practical supports like the collection and delivery of food, meals, fuel, medication, pensions and other essential items, in strict accordance with public health advice.
