234. To ask the Minister for Health if the recent cyber-attack on the HSE will not affect the vaccine roll-out for those who are at high risk in cohort 7 who are experiencing delays in getting referrals from their general practitioner to a vaccination centre as a result of the online systems being down; and the steps he will take to resolve this.

As this Parliamentary Question relates to an operational issue, it is a matter for the HSE. However, members of the Oireachtas are advised that the HSE is currently unable to access the information to answer Parliamentary Questions due to the recent cyber-attack, which has required a temporary shut-down of HSE IT systems. The disruption to service is on-going, and the HSE is working hard to restore its IT capacity and resume normal services. Members of the Oireachtas will be advised as soon as the HSE is again in a position to provide responses to PQs and are encouraged to resubmit their Parliamentary Questions at that point.
