Select Committee on Health

Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage

2:00 am

Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

I am not sure there is a way to get one's IHI right now. There is a master index on which we have worked with the Department of Social Protection and the HSE. Every PPSN in the country has an IHI which corresponds with it. Our sense is that we do not want to confuse people with two different numbers. The front-of-house number, the interface with patients, will emphasise PPSN.
