The Health Service Executive and the Department of Health have been unable to provide data on the number of patients with Covid-19 in hospital and the number admitted for other reasons who happen to test positive while in hospital.
Following a request from RTÉ News to the HSE for this information, the HSE directed the query to the Department of Health.
The HSE said that as this information is reported to National Public Health Emergency Team, the query needed to go to that department.
Today, the Department said that due the current Covid-19 case volumes and the emergence of the Omicron variant, the Health Protection Surveillance Centre is unable to provide a response at this time.
Anyone?
