It comes in the wake of last week's cyber attack on the Irish health service which saw the Health Service Executive forced to shut down all of its IT systems.Speaking during Leaders' Questions, Alan Kelly said that the medical organisation had the patient's medical history and knew exactly what he required medically.He said that if this was happening on a larger scale, "we have a big problem".
Mr Martin said he could not provide a detailed brief on how Government was responding to the crisis, as it could compromise efforts to tackle the issue. Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, he said the Government's first thought is for the patients and staff working in the system.HSE warns it will take weeks to fix IT systems Mr Ryan said the use of these tactics "won't distract us from restoring the core systems and getting patients well", which is "the first and foremost priority" and the Government is not contemplating paying any ransom.
Minister Ryan said while sophisticated systems have been hacked and compromised across the world it is "highly unusual" for cyber criminals to attack an entire public health system.Despite this, the minister said that the response cannot be to talk to hackers and immediately pay a ransom, but to protect and restore networks and put up all the necessary defences so it cannot happen again.
