I propose to take Questions Nos. 701 and 702 together.
Please note there is a typo in the above PQ it should read 'To ask the Minister for Health to outline the reason behind the decision to remove mandatory masks in medical settings; and the evidence used to make this decision.'As the matter raised is a service delivery matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly as soon as possible.
Question No. 702 answered with Question No. 701.
Question No. 703 answered with Question No. 653.
