View answer349. Deputy Pauline Tully asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question Nos. 1014 and 1015 of 31 March 2021, the number of children’s disability network teams that have currently been established; and his views on whether the remaining 60 teams will be established by end Q2 2021. [31013/21]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 346 and 349 together.
As these Parliamentary Questions relate to operational issues, they are 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.
