View answer3328. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 66 of 2 July 2019, the status of plans to develop primary care facilities on Inisbofin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41351/21]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 1423 and 3328 together.
As these Parliamentary Questions relate 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.
