As the Deputy may be aware, in late March, the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) recommended that all non-essential health services should be paused to protect and maximise the delivery of essential time-critical care during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, on 5 May last the NPHET replaced its previous recommendation with a new recommendation that, going forward, the delivery of acute care should be determined by appropriate clinical and operational decision making.
As this is a service matter it has been referred to the HSE for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
