Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023) Matt Carthy: I raised an issue with the HSE last week in respect of a third strand of the nursing homes issue. Essentially, we had the public nursing homes, which fell as neatly as possible within the repayment scheme, as it was envisaged. There were the private nursing homes, where, of course, there are many deliberations. There was then a third strand, which are long-term facilities for people with...

Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023) Matt Carthy: Can I just clarify this? We know why many people either did not apply or applied and did not appeal. We know that from the secret 2011 memo that was circulated. It stated very clearly why they did not. It stated that it was probably on the basis from the HSE that the payments did not come within the definition of the recoverable health charges. The Government conceded that 500 people who...

Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023) Matt Carthy: We know that there were thousands of others who, therefore, would have. Can anybody tell me what was done in respect of that? The issue was raised with the HSE last week very prominently. I do not accept that the answer is not available.

Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023) Matt Carthy: What exactly is the HSE looking into? We know that there were three homes where appeals were made. We know that there were similar, if not identical, other homes all over the State. Is the work the HSE is currently doing involving identifying all of those other institutions, finding out who among them applied and who among them did not apply on the basis of advice from the HSE?

Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023) Matt Carthy: No. Absolutely not. I was looking for the information on the day. We were of the view that it would be received by today.

Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023) Matt Carthy: We know from the 2011 memo. This is not new information that was brought to the Department in the past week. It was well known across the Department that there was a potential outlay of €360 million. That figure had to be identified somewhere. It was identified because someone assessed the number of institutions concerned. Does Mr. Watt have available for us today that information...

Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023) Matt Carthy: No. Just deal with this specific issue. These are people with disabilities who were in long-term residential care and who should have fallen under the remit of the repayment scheme. The scheme's appeals officer accepted that. The Government technically accepted it because it withdrew its appeal to the High Court and paid approximately 500 people. There is a serious question, one that has...

Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023) Matt Carthy: That is unacceptable. This issue was well flagged. Anyone who took even a cursory glance at the transcript of last week's meeting would have seen this was an area of concern to the committee. I do not accept it is simply a case that the Department does not have the information. I think it is stonewalling, to put it frankly.

Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023) Matt Carthy: Gabhaim buíochas arís leis an gCathaoirleach. I will follow on from a point made by Mr. Watt, which has been repeated by several officials and Government Ministers. It relates to the Government having accepted the legal basis of medical card holders in private nursing homes. We can have a debate in respect of that. That is not the case when we are dealing with the long-term...

Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023) Matt Carthy: This is an important distinction because this is not the case of some people being paid as a result of a legal negotiation and a settlement. People made an appeal. Their appeal was upheld. The Government, of its own volition, was then challenging that.

Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023) Matt Carthy: If we then focus, our concern then is in respect of those people who would have been similarly entitled, had they appealed. Apart from the three houses mentioned where a group of appeals were made, were any other institutions involved and were any subsequent payments made to people who qualified under these criteria either as a result of their own legal action or as a result of, for example,...

Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023) Matt Carthy: With regard to the questions I asked earlier, Mr. Watt said he would try to provide answers before the meeting concluded. The first of those questions was whether we know the number of people who applied who fitted the criteria but did not appeal. Do we have that number yet?
