Varadkar hits out at HSE for 'dumping' Covid tracing on GPs

The Tánaiste has hit out at the HSE, claiming it was "very unfair" to "dump" the Covid tracing problem on GPs.

It is understood that Leo Varadkar has told party colleagues that hiring people to contract trace is one of the least expensive measures but one of the most effective, and said the HSE was never told that funding would be limited in this area.
