Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

Absolutely, there is some really important-----

I want to stick with that data issue. I have been following the EU debate. One thing that strikes me is the difficulty they have run into with regard to exporting personal data to third countries. How are we looking at that? I am thinking in particular of the National Treatment Purchase Fund and how much we rely on the UK for cataract treatment, and how that would be eased. I know there are obviously agreements now between the EU and the UK. Does this Bill work alongside those and how is that being addressed?
