Health Information Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Sep 2024)

David Cullinane: I am sharing time with my colleagues. Sinn Féin will support the Bill. This legislation provides, in the main, for digital health records. Digital transformation is essential to improve patient safety, bring the health service into the 21st century, improve productivity, efficiency and value for money, and to properly hold the system to account. Accessible patient records are at the...

Health Information Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Sep 2024)

Thomas Gould: It is important that we discuss this today. It is disappointing, however, that the Taoiseach, Deputy Harris, in his time as Minister for Health did nothing to sanction or secure funding for this. To be fair, Fianna Fáil has not been much better in health but at least this Bill is now being brought forward, towards the end of this Government. Will we see it passed in the light of day...

Health Information Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Sep 2024)

Stephen Donnelly: Part 2 of the Bill provides for the duty to share and contains sections 7 to 9, inclusive. Section 7 places a statutory duty on health service providers to share personal health data with other health services providers for the purposes of patient care and treatment. In keeping with data protection principles, such sharing must be necessary, relevant and proportionate. Section 8 introduces...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action
Remits of Committees: European Court of Auditors (25 Sep 2024)

Richard Bruton: I thank Mr. Murphy for his presentation. The court is doing interesting work that is relevant to our own. To play devil’s advocate for a minute, it seems that the court is running a slide rule over return on investment to decide whether spend in the climate area is washing its face compared to spend elsewhere. Is it not the case that, in many of the matters Mr. Murphy discussed,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action
Remits of Committees: European Court of Auditors (25 Sep 2024)

Richard Bruton: To get the transformational shift, however, it seems as though we have to set targets we do not know how to get to, and that is what is happening here. We have set a 51% target for emissions and no one knows exactly how we are going to get there. Is the court cutting any slack for those who are setting the targets, bearing in mind the enormous uncertainty? If we say we are going to do...

The Bill may be very technical in nature. It is, however, a landmark piece of legislation and it is going to help transform the services that are provided to patients. This Bill is the legal foundation for one of the...
