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:

I am not sure about getting into a debate on what a secret memo stated or did not state. We have committed, as the HSE committed last week and we have spoken about, to going back to see if there are others who did not fall within those three section 39 bodies. If there are large numbers, it is legitimate to ask what the Government is going to do about those. It is a fair question about whether they will be treated under the scheme, which is now in abeyance but which, I presume, could be activated, or with some other mechanism that is available. That has to be considered. We would look at the date and the evidence and see what the position is.
