Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack

9:30 am

Mr. Robert Watt:

In terms of the cost, the immediate response in the Department was about €1 million and it was €53 million for the HSE. The attack had a significant impact on services and I understand the HSE executive set out the impact. It lasted a number of weeks. Depending on the nature of the service or facility, some services were impacted for longer than others. Mr. Thompson from the HSE is here. He might be able to set out if there is more evidence on the impact. The impact was significant but varied by service.
