I propose to take Questions Nos. 167 and 168 together.  

The Health Service Executive is an Agency under the remit of the Department of Health. The Department of the Environment, Climate, and Communications has no operational responsibility for the Health Service Executive. Each Government Department and Agency has responsibility for the security and integrity of its Information and Communications Technology systems.
