Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 July 2021
322. Deputy Kathleen Funchion asked the Minister for Health the procurement process for HSE services that use local taxi services; and if this is governed by a national process or decided locally per individual hospital. [30833/21]
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 cyberattack, 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.
