Radiation oncology patients treated, machinery enabled

Speaking on RTÉ's Drivetime, Dr Clare Faul said many of their services had been significantly affected by last week's cyber attack on the HSE.

The HSE was forced to shut down all of its IT systems following the "significant" ransomware attack, which focused on accessing data stored on central servers. This can include a Medical Record Number or a Patient Chart Number, as well as a list of current medications or prescriptions or any hospital discharge information from a previous hospital visit.

Progress is also being made on getting servers cleaned, restored and back online, in line with the "pace we had anticipated, and is a stepped, methodical process, to mitigate the risk of re-infection," the HSE said.
