Mr. Paul Reid:

The immediate costs are well over €100 million, including capital and revenue costs, just to get through this. The Senator is correct. We do not have figures for some of the clinical costs, service recovery, better local IT security, and strengthened resources, capacity and capability across our organisation. In the short to medium term, it will cost significantly over €100 million to get through this process and we are working on the medium and longer-term impacts. It is clear, if one looks back at the previous three years, that we invested approximately €82 million in malware and security protection, and a number of associated actions. We have an old legacy network in the HSE. It needs investment for security and protection of data in the future. We will learn many lessons from this, from reports that we will get through this process, but ultimately it is a legacy network.
