Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 June 2021
448. Deputy Johnny Guirke asked the Minister for Health the measures he plans to put in place to reduce the waiting time for dialectical behaviour therapy, a time sensitive therapy, which is currently standing at two years in the Louth-Meath HSE area; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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.
