Cybersecurity Policy
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-10
============================================================

Niall Collins (FF), Limerick County

The HSE has introduced important changes to the governance of cybersecurity across the organisation based on the recommendations of the post-incident report. An interim chief technology and transformation officer and chief information security officer were appointed in 2022. Competition to fill these roles on a permanent basis is under way. Members of the HSE executive management team formed the oversight committee for the implementation of the recommendations of the post-incident report. Finally, the board of the HSE has established a new subcommittee for transformation and technology with responsibility for oversight of ICT and cybersecurity. I thank the Senator for raising this important issue and I assure him and the House that this important matter will also be closely monitored by the Department of Health.
