Select Committee on Health

Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage

2:00 am

Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

The whole Bill is about supporting integrated care and the transitions from community to acute and to GPs. Part 3 of the Bill sets out the categories of information we commit to providing for each citizen. The digitalisation is a huge detail of the enterprise system and will take many years. The Bill facilitates the interoperability of data from different systems to consolidate information into summary care records for all citizens. We believe that will deliver value in a much nearer term. The overall digitalisation is a vital investment in the medium to longer term.
