Vote 38 - Health (Resumed)
Health Service Executive: Financial Statements 2020

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

We have never given a figure in relation to that 80% of the overall health sector that was ever any earlier than 16 January 2024. We will hit that 80% by about the end of March or April 2025. So, it is about 13 months behind. It was never ever going to be earlier than that. That 13-month delay has been caused by Covid, the cyberattack, problems with recruiting and actually having to procure a whole new systems integrator.
