HSE cyber security breach - Appointments next week

Last reply: 17 May 2021 10:33

Hi,

I've an appointment early next week. This will be my first appointment in a symptomatic breast clinic. I'll likely be having a mammogram and ultrasound at least. Do you think these type of appointments will go ahead? It sound like the cyber security breach will be ongoing?

Thanks

Hi

The hospital will contact you if your mammogram and ultrasound can't go ahead next week.

Best wishes
Jenni

Phone lines seem to be down. Don't know how they will access patient phone number in order to ring to cancel appointments. Has anyone been contacted to cancel appointments?

They should have your phone number on your patient file. When I became a patient I had to fill out a patient registration form.
