Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

General Scheme of the Health Information and Patient Safety Bill: Discussion

1:30 pm

Ms Bernadette Ryan:

I will just add to that. Everybody recognises there is some health information that we do not really mind being disclosed, such as allergies or a person's blood type. That is at one level, but there are certain things about which there must be major privacy considerations and everybody is aware of that.
