Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. Peter Lennon:

To the extent that we have stressed in the Bill the importance of security, we have placed considerable emphasis on trying to ensure such an attack does not happen. Obviously, there cannot be a complete guarantee against it. It is there to the extent that we have highlighted the need to ensure it does not happen. It is a point that has been raised by the public and other stakeholders and is one we are fully conversant with. It is the case that we can say every effort that is humanly and technically possible to ensure the security of the data will be taken.
