Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Covid-19 Contact Tracing: HSE

Ms Niamh O'Beirne:

We provide laptops to our staff to do tracing. The application we use is all cloud-based, so nothing is held on the laptop itself. The contact tracer accesses our Microsoft Dynamics CRM system, which is where all the data are held on who to call. The issue that was mentioned in the newspapers today relates solely to one facility and to a small number of people who were asked to bring a personal laptop just for training. They will not be rostered to do contact tracing until their HSE laptops have arrived.
