Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

HSE National Service Plan 2022: Discussion

Mr. Paul Reid:

It is a year since that happened. A PwC report set out a range of actions. Those included recruitment for two key strategic roles at a national level and a range of cyber roles. We have recruited significantly for our IT service. We are having real challenges in getting cyber specialists to come in. We have implemented a range of initiatives, about which I prefer not to talk publicly, that strengthen the security of our network, controls, authentication processes and who can access what and from where. We have initiated training for staff to promote greater awareness.
