Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health

Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

We are not the team that deals directly with the roll-out of e-health and cybersecurity but the Department has significantly increased the investment of resources in that area. There is very substantial recruitment to the HSE to build up the skills and capacity to manage cybersecurity. Lessons have been learned from the cyberattack we suffered from and from other attacks. We are working across Government, with the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer, CIO, the Department of Justice and others to ensure maximum security in our health information.
