Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. Peter Lennon:

The Bill contains specific provisions that prohibit the use of health information for particular purposes, including the insurance premiums the Cathaoirleach just described. The EHDS does the same. We do not want this information to be used as a means of discriminating against or targeting people in any way. We are mindful of the fact that the committee has given us an early engagement on this Bill and we will consider how to reflect the points raised by members in the Bill as drafted and implemented.
