Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. Peter Lennon:

Yes it does. There is a provision in the Bill that provides for the summary care record to be accessible outside of the State subject to government rules. That would protect the information. The Deputy is right to say the proposed regulation on the European Health Data Space is at this stage grappling with the issue. It is a European Health Data Space and health information can be shared beyond the borders. It is an ongoing area.
