Health minister says legal firms are already eyeing up legal claims following cyber attack
The Health Minister believes it’s distasteful that some legal companies are already eyeing up legal claims following last week’s cyber-attack on the HSE.
Stephen Donnelly says a number of health services should be back up and running in a number of days but it will be several weeks before they all resume.
Radiology, oncology and maternity services are among those being prioritised.
Stephen Donnelly is upset legal action is already being considered against the State.
'There are serious GDPR laws in place, which obviously we comply with it.
"I think it has been a little distasteful - I have seen some legal firms already advertising and licking their lips."
