Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 July 2021
378. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 671 of 11 May 2021, when a person (details supplied) will receive a decision on their primary medical certificate application. [32519/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs I indicated in my previous reply, I referred Parliamentary Question No. 671 of 11 May, 2021 to the Health Service Executive, for direct reply to the Deputy.
As this Parliamentary Question relates to an operational issue, it is a matter for the Health Service Executive (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 to 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.
