David Cullinane: Yes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)
David Cullinane: To be honest, I am not at all comforted by the response in terms of how quickly we will get to a solution on electronic health records. There is not the urgency that needs to be there and whatever happened over the last seven years was unacceptable. Would Mr. O'Connor accept, because he is responsible for analytics, that information sharing in terms of patient information flow is...

David Cullinane: I support the legislation, by the way. I merely make the point for people listening that legislation is fine and it provides a basis for us to do something but without the tools, we are nothing.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)
David Cullinane: There is good stuff in it. I accept that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)
David Cullinane: How do we find out what our IHI is?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)
David Cullinane: What if we wanted to?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)
David Cullinane: If I wanted to find out what my IHI number, how could I go about it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)
David Cullinane: I do not envy the witnesses at all. I wish the Department of Health well in the work it is doing. The Health Information Bill 2023 is very good legislation from the get-go and its intent, depth, and breadth are very impressive. I fully support the practical measures proposed in it. We need to see them happen. I do not blame the officials present for the legacy issues but they will...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)

If they then go in to St. James's Hospital for a different operation, they generate a different number. That is what happens currently. The witnesses said that everybody has been assigned a unique identifier so we all have one. Is...

David Cullinane: The intent is to get to the point that that no longer happens and they will use the IHI. Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)
David Cullinane: How does the HSE use the IHI right now?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)
David Cullinane: I am even be more confused now. I imagine it would be better not to have separate numbers generated by the hospitals and for them to simply use the IHI.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)
David Cullinane: Is Mr. O'Connor saying that is not what will happen, not even in the future?
