196. Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 2,315 of 21 April 2021, the reason only two of the three MRI projects namely Mullingar and Kilkenny set out in the 2020 capital plan have advanced to date; the reason the MRI for Wexford General Hospital was removed; the person that made this decision; when this was decision made; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answer“As 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.
