Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 June 2021
192. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Health his views on a recent advertisement for seven unpaid assistant psychologist roles for HSE services; if a series of matters in relation to the advertisement of the roles and their placement will be addressed (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25861/21]
View answerAs 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.
