First Aer Lingus cargo flight for PPE scheduled to leave Dublin on Sat morning, arrive in Beijing early Sun, land at Dublin airport late Sunday. Sail safe! We have got your back.🇮🇪🇨🇳 HSE Ireland Paul Reid Irish Foreign Ministry Martin D Shanahan


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


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."


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


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


#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
