Ceisteanna (1550)

Réada Cronin

Ceist:

1550. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Health the reason the HSE is asking persons including healthcare workers arriving at vaccination centres to replace their high-protection masks such as FFP2 with those of lower protection quality; if he will publish the scientific basis on which this request is made; if, in the circumstances of the highly-transmissible omicron variant, his Department is content for the HSE to continue with this practice; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
