Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health
Mr. Peter Lennon:
I am not 100% sure whether it is but we know from discussions that, particularly where patient safety is concerned, rather than increasing the risk of wrongly identifying we will reduce the risk by having a backup number that also serves as a unique identifier. I disagree that it increases the risk. I believe it reduces it but that is my view.
