605. To ask the Minister for Health if his Department has undertaken an assessment of the financial costs of cyber-attack in 2021 on the Health Service Executive or on his Department; and if the health service and his Department have recovered completely from the attack. [5833/22]

The cost of services in 2021 provided to my Department in respect of addressing the cyber-attack was approximately €586,000 excl. VAT. My Department's systems were fully available shortly after the cyber-attack.
In respect of the Health Service Executive, as this is a service matter I have asked them to respond to the Deputy directly as soon as possible.
