Data from the HSE cyber attack could appear online today after those behind it indicated a potential dump if a ransom isn’t paid.
The Government has always ruled out paying any fee to those who attacked the HSE and Department of Health’s IT systems.
The head of the HSE says officials will be concentrating on getting some national systems working again, such as those which run CT and MRI scans.
At St Luke’s General for Carlow and Kilkenny. the Oncology clinic and some specialist diagnostic services continue to be cancelled while X-ray and cardiac diagnostic services remain disrupted.
There are delays too to outpatient appointments and also to routine laboratory services for GPs. (County by county hospital updates here).
While all Community Healthcare appointments across both counties are going ahead, unless you hear otherwise directly from the HSE. It’s business as usual too at all local Vaccination Centres with walk-ins at the test centres. (County by county service updates here).
The HSE’s latest update advises that people receiving any suspicious calls, texts or other contacts seeking personal or banking details are advised to report these contacts to the Garda confidential line 1800 666111.
