The Dublin Midlands Hospital Group has issued an update and more information for patients on how Portlaoise and its sister hospitals are coping with the criminal ransomware attack on HSE and the wider health system.
The DMHG says its priority is keeping patients safe and maintaining essential care and support services.
"The shutdown of our systems is having an impact on some health services and this disruption is very likely to go well into this week. Hospitals are working very hard to continue with appointments scheduled this week. However, there is some service disruption expected," said a statement issued Monday evening on May 17.
