783. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Health if measures will be put in place to maintain financial support for the homecare sector in view of the fact the latest HSE pay policy came to an end on 31 May 2020. [14203/20]
View answerStandard PPE will continue to be the responsibility of private providers for non-COVID-19 clients. However, HSE will provide appropriate additional PPE supplies to Home Support Providers in relation to clients confirmed to have COVID-19 on the clear understanding that the individual service provider will deliver appropriate Infection Protection and Control training to its staff. As the Deputy's question is an operational matter it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
