12/14 Established GPs are leaving to work elsewhere GPs are the only healthcare workers in the country precluded from taking any collective industrial action by law, so they leave. #coronavirusireland #ge2020

I hope that we have developed a stronger level of trust with the public in the HSE, in responding to #COVID19. We now have to build a health system that has a sustainable defence against this virus & meets everyone's wider health & care needs. We do care. HSE Ireland

Good public policy taking over the private hospitals when we were facing a catastrophic number of infections. Time to let them get back to business now. Please spend the money saved on investment in public healthcare #TonightVMTV @ProfPayEquality ProfJohnCrown

Racism is a virus that we have been fighting for millennia.  Despite the progress we have made, it is no less virulent today and no less dangerous.  We need to show solidarity as people of all races & backgrounds around the world come together to stop its spread and defeat it.

Prof Alan Irvine Alan Irvine highlighted how we can find solutions to address the capacity and waiting list issues in our health system when he spoke in the Dáil today: "Get more people on the ground, listen to local solutions, listen carefully and empower them."

It will be if it doesn’t crumble under stress of excessive demand and unrealistic expectations of an increasing number of patients. Resumption of elective work in hospitals, both public and private is too slow and adding to our woes. Lab (and radiology)restricted 2)

A great way to start the week ahead. Lowest nbr of confirmed #COVID19 patients, since the peak, in ICU (34) and in hospital (122).10 hospitals with no cases. Now is the time for society to prosper again. We can make it happen. #ItsInOurHands HSE Ireland

We move to phase 3 on Mon 29th June. Very low levels of #COVID19. What worries me most now is travel from overseas and I fear many planning foreign trips. 2020 is a year for a staycation. Stay in Ireland, spend locally and follow public health advice. Department of Health HSE Ireland

From today, I will be taking time out from all of my work commitments to be with my family. I would like to thank everyone for their support, understanding and respect for my family’s privacy and would wish that to continue. Continue to stay vigilant and look after each other.

The R number is 'now at or above 1' which is all it takes for this virus to take off again and start infecting many more people. Complacency is setting in among some of us.

Just a reminder...we are still living with a deadly virus. If you are younger, you are NOT immune. If it doesn't kill you, your transmission could cost the life of someone else. Let's all get our act together this weekend. #COVID19 HSE Ireland

. Sláintecare will need new model of care that integrates GPs/primary care so funding needs to support it - here an option “they can use their global budget to hire social workers, health coaches and case managers to address patient needs” Tom O'Dowd Dr Ronan Fawsitt Irish College of GPs

I’m really looking forward to new job as policy advisor to health minister Stephen Donnelly. Having spent 10 years researching & writing about the health service it’s an incredible opportunity to help to influence things on the inside at what is a particularly challenging time.

#COVID19 Yesterday's high nbr of cases are of a concern. But it doesnt need to be a trend. The performance of this virus is all about what we do today. Enjoy your weekend, keep your distance, wear a mask. Don't be scared...be diligent...be safe. HSE Ireland

Just a word of caution to a few who can tend to dismiss this virus. I found it heartbreaking talking to families of healthcare workers who have lost their lives trying to protect us.They were not old..they were healthy..and they have left lovely familes behind. HSE Ireland #COVID19
