Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 January 2022
361. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health if, in the context of the latest easing of Covid-19 restrictions, directives or guidance will be issued by his Department to hospitals on the easing of visitor restrictions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4128/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraGuidance relating to visitor access in acute hospitals is developed by HSE AMRIC and published on the HPSC website. This guidance is regularly reviewed and updated, with recent NPHET advice taken into account in guidance reviews.
As the review and implementation of visiting guidance is an operational matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly.
