Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Health the body tasked with organising vaccinations for homeless persons; if there is coordination in place to facilitate persons without stable abode to access vaccinations; and if they are being treated as a priority considering their lack of access to sanitisation resources.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 1541 and 1742 together.
As 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.
