The HSE has yet to contact any of the people whose personal data was compromised during the May 2021 cyberattack on its computer systems.

Acting CEO of the HSE, Stephen Mulvany, told the Public Accounts Committee that while "a significant volume of work is progressing” in terms of contacting people whose data was affected by the attack, “we haven’t made any specific contacts yet”.
