Dr. Paul Kavanagh:

Absolutely. The Deputy has put his finger on one of the items that, to my mind, would sit under some of the technical considerations and also some of the standards, legislation and definitions. Issues such as unique identifiers to make sure an individual has been tracked across different datasets and that his or her data can be integrated to provide a holistic view of what their health needs are would be one example. Then there are issues around data governance and legislation in terms of anonymity to make sure data was being held in a way that was safe and secure, so that an individual's data was contributing to an understanding of levels of health and disease across the island but individuals could feel safe and secure their privacy was also being protected, so there is that sort of balance. I would be happy to put together a note for the committee on what we think the steps involved in that would be.
