Recent Cyberattack and its Impact on the Health System: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-18
============================================================

Gary Gannon (SD), Dublin Central

I am going to assume the HSE business continuity plan has a mutual aid provision with private hospitals and, potentially, even across the Border with hospitals like Derry's Altnagelvin Hospital. At what point does the HSE's emergency business continuity plan stipulate that such a mutual aid provision be invoked, for example, for new presentations? Do we have a mutual aid provision and will it be invoked?
