HSE Says Cost Of Recent Cyber Attack Likely To Be More Than €100 Million
It says the lack of access to patient information in hospitals is creating an "extremely high risk" environment
Some cancer services like chemotherapy are operating at close to full capacity - but there's huge disruption in areas such as mental health.
HSE Chief Executive Paul Reid says it's going to cost a lot of money to recover from the cyber attack:
"There's a number of costs, that we will incur by purely getting back up the systems, and secondly by upgrading some systems during this process. I said at the outset that this will be in 10s of millions, and there's no doubt 100 million will be a smaller figure in terms of total cost of this."
