Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 July 2021
2743. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Health the number of times it has taken an ambulance more than 20, 40 minutes and more than one hour to reach patients that made emergency calls in County Mayo; the longest ambulance response time logged on a county basis; 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.
