Written answers

Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

I wish to advise the Deputy that I am not in a position to comment as responsibility for disability services has not yet transferred to my Department. These matters are more appropriate for the attention of my Cabinet colleague, the Minister for Health.

The recent cyber attack on the Department of Health has rendered them unable to access their IT systems.
