Mr. Derek Tierney:

The IHI is built up of different constituents, such as a surname, first name, date of birth, eircode and contact number. We now want to put the PPSN in to strengthen the match rate so when someone accesses the app and logs in by a verified means, they will have trust and confidence that it refers to them, it is their information and it is what the health service is seeing around that person.
