Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health
Mr. Peter Lennon:
The Bill provides that access will be to two people, namely, the health service professional actually providing the current treatment and the individual. The Bill actually provides that at the point of care and treatment, the individual consent of the patient allows that access to happen. Therefore, it is a health service provider who is providing care and treatment, subject to the consent of the individual patient.
