I propose to take Questions Nos. 356 and 357 together.
The Department of Health and the HSE, working in collaboration with the Department of Education has recently announced a programme in which antigen tests will be made available to children in a primary school pod, where a child in the pod is a confirmed case of COVID-19. The tests will be sent to the children’s parents, and the programme is expected to commence on or before the 29th November.
The procurement and distribution of antigen teats is a matter for the Department of Health.
