Purpose
Following the publication of the COVID-19 Nursing Home Expert Panel Report, an inter-agency Implementation Oversight Team was established by the Minister for Health to oversee the implementation of the recommendations of the report. A Reference Group to facilitate ongoing early and focused engagement and involvement in the implementation process with key national stakeholders/experts was also established.
The Reference Group will provide feedback, information and views on matters referred to it by the Implementation Oversight Team in the context of the implementation of the Panel’s report. The purpose of the Reference Group is to provide an engagement mechanism for stakeholders to discuss issues of specific interest directly relating to the implementation of the Expert Panel’s recommendations and to provide a structured process for the engagement and feedback to the Implementation Oversight Team.
The Reference Group is chaired by the Professor Cecily Kelleher, an ex officio member of the Implementation Oversight Team.
