Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 July 2021
1605. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Health the estimated cost of implanting the commitment in the National Clinical Programme for Eating Disorders published by the HSE in 2018 of putting in place 16 specialist eating disorder hubs nationwide over five years; the number of the recommended 16 specialist hubs that are fully operational at present; 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.
