Martin admits HSE's IT system was not properly funded

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has admitted that there has not been sufficient investment in IT and cybersecurity for the Irish healthcare system and that it should have been done “years ago”.

Speaking on RTÉ radio’s Today with Claire Byrne, Mr Martin said that while he accepted the system was vulnerable, it had been his personal view for a long time that there needed to be much more investment.
