Communities 'not trusted' during pandemic, panel hears Ireland's Covid inquiry
Testimony received by Ireland's Covid inquiry indicates communities were not trusted enough to manage their own health risks during the pandemic.
Parts of the Irish health system remain under pressure as communities continue to face challenges in managing their own health risks during public health emergencies, according to testimony received by Ireland's Covid inquiry. The inquiry heard that communication and trust between public health authorities and local communities were strained during the pandemic, which may have affected adherence to guidance and impacted the overall response. The session highlighted concerns about how risk information was conveyed and whether communities were sufficiently empowered to make informed decisions about their health and safety.
