I have two quick questions, the first of which relates to HSE patients and will be a concern for members of the public watching this meeting. When does the Minister of State anticipate the HSE will be back to normal and seeing patients, those who are now waiting for appointments? Does the Minister of State think the National Cyber Security Centre, NCSC, needs to be put on a statutory footing to strengthen its capacity to deal with cybersecurity? What message does the Minister of State have for the HSE patients, the public out there, as to when the HSE, hospitals and the Department will be back to normal practice? Will the Minister of State be putting the NCSC on a statutory footing?
