- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: I do not see any discussion around the health information Bill in Mr. Thompson's opening statement. Is the HSE working with drafters on it? Is Mr. Thompson involved in the process?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: When was the last time the HSE was consulted?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: Even linking the EHR with the children's hospital will delay it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: I welcome the witnesses. I know they were probably listening to the first session. To what degree were they aware of the hold-up on electronic healthcare records?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: Was Dr. Kennan aware that there is no current and updated business case for that issue?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: Was Dr. Kennan aware that the business case is linked to the children's hospital?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: Okay. That is important because when looking through parliamentary questions, any of us who are asking about the electronic records instantly gets an answer that mentions the children's hospital and the newborn programmes but does not explicitly say the roll-out across the whole system is based on the performance of those things. Does Dr. Kennan have a concern around that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: I am aware the witnesses are not experts in this particular area and it is centred more around the data, considering what we have heard this morning, what would they expect to see in terms of this being up and running in Ireland? We are not even at business case stage. Are we years away from a working electronic healthcare system? Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: As I said to our previous witnesses, I had questions on the operation of data collection, particularly for research and obviously selfishly for our own purposes, the issue around evidence-based design and having that data comes up every week. I want to touch on a number of areas if the business case was happening and if we were at that point. There is an assumption, certainly when we talk...

Neasa Hourigan: Okay.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: That does not count. That is not official knowledge.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: Really what I was asking is had the HSE communicated officially to section 38 and 39 organisations particularly.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: I want to return to the patient interaction with this and understand whether there has been any information or interaction with the data commissioner or the Data Protection Commission office on both research in general and genomics in particular but also on that health information Bill. Is that anything the witnesses are aware of?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: Does Dr. Kennan expect to have further interaction as this rolls out?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: A more transparent process is what Dr. Kennan is suggesting; it sounds kind of like a forum. Can we return quickly to her description of the health data space in the EU or Europe more generally? I am thinking of genetics because so many other countries are doing better in that regard. I have a particular interest in that area. We have talked a lot this morning about sharing information...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: Other than that we do not do it.
