Galway Bay fm newsroom – The manager of Galway University Hospitals has urged the public to only attend UHG and Merlin Park for essential reasons, as work continues to recover from the HSE cyber attack.
Chris Kane has warned that both hospitals are still dealing with the fallout from the attack, which was carried out by a group of eastern European hackers last week.
It comes as the Saolta Hospital Group has advised that disruption to services at UHG, Merlin Park and Portiuncula is expected to continue for the rest of this week.
Most staff have no access to patients’ electronic files, and are relying on paper records to see urgent cases.
