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. Fran Thompson:

We are rolling out the newborn and maternal systems. We got approval to do that on two additional sites, namely, in Limerick hospital and in the Coombe. If my figure is correct, that would cover approximately 70% of all births nationally when we add the other hospitals in. For anybody who needs neonatal care, approximately 90% of those units are covered. That will happen between 2023 and 2024. Once we do that successfully we will then look and see what the best solution is for the other hospitals. The reason we say that is because some of the hospitals are quite small-----
