Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Electronic Health Records: Discussion
Mr. Fran Thompson:
No patient data was breached in any of those. An investigation just means that we are running a formal investigation and our response is immediate to be able to say, “There is an alert that has been raised and now we need to do something around that.” We might actually take a device or an application off the system and make sure that there are no issues with that. We also have additional technology that stops any data being infiltrated or taken out of the HSE. We close those investigations that we run after a period of time. The cost to us to run those is embedded, so that is part of what the 23 staff are doing in conjunction with our external supports.
