Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health

Mr. Peter Lennon:

It is always open to go to the DPC. In the Bill, a very strong engagement is set out with the DPC. That goes to public confidence. If there was a particular issue, for example, genetic information, it may in the early years after it is set up want to ensure the DPC has an input or consultation role. We do not rule it out but it is not required.
