As part of the national response to COVID-19, the NPHET Subgroup on Vulnerable People was established by my Department to provide oversight and assurance with regard to 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 Subgroup met on 6th March 2020 for the first time and has held 9 meetings to date. The Terms of Reference, membership of the subgroup and all minutes of meetings (once finalised) are published online at: https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/301f5e-the-national-public-health-emergency-team-nphet-subgroup-vulnerable-/
