Last updated on
The National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) COVID-19 Subgroup - Vulnerable People was set up to provide guidance around the specific preparedness, measures and actions that need to be taken to protect vulnerable groups and individuals in society. An integrated cross government approach is being taken by the Subgroup.
The term vulnerable people is being used to include (but not limited to):
- older people
- people with a disability
- mental health service users
- people with an underlying illness or condition
- children in care
- people accessing social inclusion services
Services to vulnerable people are provided through a range of settings and are under the remit of a number of government departments.
These settings include:
- long and short-term care
- primary care, respite, day services
- prisons and youth detention centres
- direct provision and care in individual homes
The Subgroup meets weekly or more often if necessary. Agendas and minutes of previous meetings are published on the Department of Health website once approved by the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) COVID-19 Subgroup – Vulnerable People.
The Terms of Reference and membership of the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) COVID-19 Subgroup – Vulnerable People will also be published here.
