HEALTH MININSTER SIMON Harris has said it is “extremely disappointing” that one hospital failed to report over 200 cases of Covid-19, dating from as far back as mid-March, until yesterday.However, he said many of these cases were not recent.
Speaking on his way into Cabinet, Harris said he was disappointed that the hospital failed to disclose the figures until yesterday.— Christina Finn May 15, 2020 Source: Christina Finn/Twitter “The rules are very clear in this regard. Infectious diseases, of which Covid-19 is one, is clearly one that would have to be reported and disclosed to the health authorities.
“I should have further information on this later today but I do think it is very very important when we are trying to monitor and inform the public on the prevalence of this virus that there is very accurate disclosure,” he said.“There is a legal requirement to disclose – the legislation is very clear on that,” he said.
Sounds similar to when the acting government denied all knowledge of Keelings flying in seasonal workers. Also worth noting Dr John Lambert is a consultant in Infecteuos disease at the Mater & has been vocal in his criticism of the support in testing for the inner city.....
Ahh SimonHarrisTD really, your disappointed. NOT ELECTED TD. Now u know how the Sovereign Irish Citizens feel. Stop being such a puppet grow some balls & represent the Irishcitizens like ur psid 2 do Jimcorrsays LeoVaradkar KillileaGayle CMOIreland
Pyburn85 what a spoofer. Stealing a living
Not to worry. Leo has yourself Dizzy Pascal et al signed up for his next reality TV show.. Only foils and quangos.
Just shows once again that Simon Harris isn’t fit to be at this level. Not the first time he has been found out. If he was in a similar role in private industry would he not be sacked or removed.
Mater says all numbers sent in on time . . Questioning why they weren't picked up. More herr than meets the eye?
One question. You could travel further than 2kl BEFORE if you food shop was further. So. If you're hardware store is more than 52kl. Can you visit
All the experts in Ireland 🇮🇪 that were in their hideouts, have all crawled out in the past few weeks , all well qualified B/S
One of our Main Hospitals and None of the Thicks Noticed there was no Report and Stats Registered for the Hospital.
Storm in a teacup
Always someone else's fault. We need a revolution to rid these scumbags
Sackings!!!
Send your agents into these Hospitals and let them find out the statistics - and how they are managing - a responsible Health minister would do that.
Minister you've shown some good back bone handling this disease don't let that fo to waste . We have a right of transparency when it involves every single person living on this island . It's too big not to keep us properly informed
He obviously didn't delegate anyone to verify that the correct number of hospitals are reporting, there are a finite number in the country! ffs
Maybe they were too busy saving lives, instead of filling out forms to make the admin look good.
Era im sure twas just a boo boo...shur everyone makes them eh slimon
I'm sure it was the hospital that didn't do their job right, definitely wouldn't be simon 'cervical cancer' Harris' fault. Our country is in good hands this man is capable and study medicine for many years before becoming the minister for health, we are in good hands 🙄🥴
You can bet your life it wasn't the fault of front line staff, but probably the managers being told to hold back info by FineGael imo....
Stop lying you frauds .
Cervical cancer scandal
The fact that you are still health minister is 'extremely disappointing', Ratweasel.
Your problem dude... what’s your tittle again? Sure they dont trust you SimonHarrisTD and their are not the only once...
How many extremely disappointing things have happened so far.Not even in the lifetime of this government,even the last few months.u know why there's no accountability?Because they keep getting voted in!even when they don't,they're still there! What happened 2 the fightin Irish?
Should be P45 for someone
And he is the Minister, little will be done about it...
Such a mouth piece...zero cop on but an ability to read a script. Amazing to think that organisations under the control of HSE and there isn’t a complete list of hospitals and that a record of what was sent to that hospital would raise the question, zero recordings? Mmmmmhh
Name and shame
Disappointing that simonharris didn't have a checklist! Seems his job is to comment on things after the fact.
Absolute disgrace!!
That's our farcical system for ye,,people die and then they hit us with the bill ,,!!
So much for tracking, Head's should roll, people stay at home and these people, what were they doing? And did no one at Simon Harris office not think we've heard nothing from this hospital, strange or anybody who gives us updates daily.
I'd go with something a bit stronger than extremely disappointing. Grossly incompetent or negligent even
Ireland is a farcical shambles.!!
Sort of like failing to report that some women had cancer and were going to die
