View answer1989. Deputy Pauline Tully asked the Minister for Health the number of community-based neuro-rehabilitation teams here currently; the CHO they are based in; the estimated timeframe for the establishment of the remaining neuro-rehabilitation teams in the CHOs in which they are currently not based; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 1988 and 1989 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.
