David Cullinane

Question:

213. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Health the provisions being made to provide PPE to dental surgeries, general practice, pharmacies and other non-HSE aspects of the healthcare system; if provision will be made to allow them to procure PPE VAT-free; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25874/20]

Written answers

Minister for Health

As Minister for Health I do not have responsibility for issues relating to VAT which are the responsibility of the Minister for Finance.

As the other issues raised are service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
