Covid-19 set to cost health service €1.8 billion by the end of the year

Timeframes for plans would have to be “recalibrated” from existing 10-year spans, and capacity will have to be built to cope with the “new reality” of post Covid-19 healthcare.

The tests processed in hospital labs, the turnaround time is 1.5 days; in the community, the average time is 2.3 days. Last week, 1,500 calls were made as part of the contact tracing operation, and 255 close contacts were sent for testing. Of these, 14 tested positive, and 90 per cent of this group were asymptomatic.

Some 734 beds in hospitals are currently free, including 91 in intensive care, according to HSE chief operations officer Anne O’Connor.

Does that include Denis and Larry’s easy pay day?

We give €5.5 billion to NGOs every year. What a waste.
