Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed)

Mr. Damien McCallion:

The HSE has a lot of what we would call legacy applications that are crucial to running services, particularly in some of our facilities, and that is the point Mr. Mulvany is making. It is not Windows 7 in itself; it is the fact that the applications are on that. There is a plan to try to migrate that or to replace those as quickly as possible to remove Windows 7, and that is basically where we are at, but there are old applications that our services are entirely dependent on for operation, and that is what we are trying to ramp down as quickly as possible. Good progress has been made on that already because, as the Deputy said, that is one of the risks identified.
