- Health (Alteration of Criteria for Eligibility) Bill 2013: Committee and Remaining Stages: Tax Code (26 Mar 2013)

- Health (Alteration of Criteria for Eligibility) Bill 2013: Committee and Remaining Stages: Tax Code (26 Mar 2013)
Alex White: Subsection (8) makes it very clear that the Data Protection Acts "shall apply to any personal data furnished to a person under this section". All the protection in those Acts applies. The Deputy is focusing on the releaser but the agreement protects people and the system from the release of improper information. There is an agreement required to be entered into pursuant to subsection (4)...

- Health (Alteration of Criteria for Eligibility) Bill 2013: Committee and Remaining Stages: Tax Code (26 Mar 2013)
Alex White: With respect, Deputy Ó Caoláin is, again, completely misunderstanding what is proposed. In regard to the protection of privacy and how data are dealt with, I refer Deputies to the data protection legislation, in particular the Data Protection Act 1988, section 2 of which relates to the collection, processing, keeping, use and disclosure of personal data; section 3 which relates to...
- Health (Alteration of Criteria for Eligibility) Bill 2013: Committee and Remaining Stages: Tax Code (26 Mar 2013)
Alex White: In that case, I misunderstood the Deputy. As the Deputy knows, this is clearly set out in the amending legislation of 2003. I do not believe the definition was in the principal Act. In any event, it is in legislation. Lest anybody is tempted to imagine for a moment that we are just bringing in the definition, he or she should note that personal data and sensitive personal data are already...
- Health (Alteration of Criteria for Eligibility) Bill 2013: Committee and Remaining Stages: Tax Code (26 Mar 2013)
Alex White: I do not accept the suggestion made by the Deputies that this represents some kind of licence for inappropriate or excessive use of personal data or sensitive personal data. The contrary is the case. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caolain has asked where is the personal protection of the privacy of citizens. The answer to his question lies in the Data Protection Acts and is evident from the...
- Health (Alteration of Criteria for Eligibility) Bill 2013: Committee and Remaining Stages (26 Mar 2013)
Alex White: As I am sure Deputy Ó Caoláin has, Deputy Kelleher has carefully gone through the legislation line by line, as is his want, and no amendment was tabled. I am not minded to accept such an amendment because all we are doing is giving the power to the Minister that he may issue guidelines. It is simply a repetition of the current position. Deputy Kelleher referred to the legislation...
