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.

The HSE's National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP) advise that the scheduled replacement of the air handling unit and doors pertains to the proactive maintenance and replacement of existing equipment in the aseptic compounding unit in the pharmacy department at Mayo University Hospital.

This work is in line with the HSE equipment replacement and refreshment programme. The upgrade and replacement of this equipment will be carried out in line with HSE procurement requirements and will be organised in such a way so as not to impact on Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy services when scheduled.
