3329. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Health the reason Parliamentary Questions are not being responded to in cases in which questions require simple answers from him; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41352/21]
View answerThe Department of Health endeavours always to answer all parliamentary questions submitted to it in a timely and comprehensive manner.
The Deputy will be aware that the Department and HSE were hit by a cyberattack in May of this year. This criminal assault on our ICT infrastructure created difficulties in processing PQs and that the Department has been working consistently to resolve the backlogs that arose as a result and to minimise delays.
