Ms Paula Keon:

The European Commission has given us direction in the form of a model agreement which we have used. Two years ago we started a mapping exercise of all of the services operating on a North-South, east-west and all-island basis. We have worked our way down with the services. We have a data protection officer in the HSE with deputies. We have drafted the standard contractual clauses, SCCs, from the ten-page model we received from the European Commission which cannot be altered. We have mapped the data they will share in the list of service level agreements and memorandums of understanding in place. They will all be completed. There is no resistance from our Northern colleagues. They will all be signed as a matter of process as we work through them.
