Martin Daly: Is there a name for this system, the operating system?

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: The Department is in procurement and cannot say who the vendor is. Will the record of somebody who reaches 16 or 18 years of age and needs to go to St. James's Hospital be compatible with its system?

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: This is no reflection on the Minister, but about ten years ago I sat in the Department of Health and we talked about all of this and very little has moved. If someone is in the children's hospital and reaches the age where he or she has to go to the adult hospital, are those systems integrated? That is my first question. I understand there are sensitivities around procurement but there...

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: It is great this has been solved after so many years and that there is a unique personal identifier with a link to a recognisable PPSN. The PPSN was developed a long time ago but technically this could not be done. Deputy Cullinane made a very good point about having the IHI on the app. Eventually the two numbers will sit on the app.

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: I welcome the Minister's commitment to review because this will take considerable expenditure and up-front investment for efficiencies down the line. We have to be careful we do not beat ourselves over the head. We look to the NHS but it cannot be set up as a model. The NHS had a £10 billion issue with its national IT programme between 2010 and 2013. It started in 2003. The NHS was...

Martin Daly: We need to be careful because if there is a wait time, for example, there might be results from a scan and it might be information that cannot be imparted over the phone and needs a face-to-face consultation.

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: We need to be careful about time restriction because the next review appointment might be 28 days or seven days later, depending on the seriousness of the condition. I would be careful. It should be robust if it is time limited and there should be a very good reason for holding back the information pending the outcome of an appointment, maybe.
