Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

In my first address as CEO, it is important that I acknowledge all the hard work of all the healthcare and social care services staff across the system during both Covid and the criminal cyberattack.

On the Deputy’s point, as I understand it, there is a significant volume of work that is progressing so we that can get to the point where we can appropriately communicate with those individuals who need to be communicated with. We are very anxious to do so in a way that does not cause unnecessary upset. We are conscious that it is taking longer than people might expect. However, the volume and complexity of what we are dealing with is substantial. We are engaged with the Government data protection officer, DPO, to make sure that we are seen to and are doing this in an appropriate way. I do not believe, specifically, we have made any direct contacts yet with individuals around the data. However, I understand that is in the near future. As I said, it is a complex task to be approached appropriately.
