Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion
Ms Fiona Hammond:
The register is entirely possible without the identifier. It is a technical piece of work that would be built so that in the future it could be linked to a unique identifier. The idea that an individual would register themselves is outside of whether an identifier exists or not. It would be outside of the hospital or medical environment.
