Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 July 2021
2761. Deputy Cormac Devlin asked the Minister for Health when HSE Grangegorman primary care centre will reopen; if his attention has been drawn to the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39032/21]
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.
In respect of the case of the person (details supplied), the HSE National Hearing Aid Centre offers a free service to people who have received HSE hearing aids. However, due to Covid-19 restrictions the walk-in service is currently suspended. Clients are requested to post their hearing aids to the Audiology Services (Dublin North City and County), Grangegorman Primary Care Centre, Upper Grangegorman Road, Grangegorman, Dublin 7.
