Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Does the Deputy mean resistance or reluctance on the part of individuals or hospitals?
- Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: We are very respectful of the personal rights of individuals and how their data is held and managed. There is a need to hold data electronically for the purposes of providing care, but there are certain guardrails put around who may access that data and on what basis. At the next level when we are looking at how we share and consider data on a more collective level, for health research for...

- Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: To be clear, the guardrails are set out in section 12 of the Bill. It is important to say we are very respectful and concerned about individuals and their privacy. There are a couple of elements to that. One is that we need them to be in the electronic health system so they can get the quickest possible and the best, most integrated care. If you turn up to a hospital with a major trauma...
- Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Yes. Over time, all those records will be integrated into the system. It will take some time, and I will ask Mr. Tierney to speak to the specific timeline we hope to achieve and envisage achieving. Of course, it is subject to all the elements going well and having the funding to do this in the reasonable way we hope. The goal is that all records will ultimately be in this electronic...
- Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I will just add that the app is really important. While the Internet signal is historically terrible in committee rooms in the basement in LH 2000, it is an app you can download. You need a MyGovID to sign in. Obviously, I expect everybody in the room has downloaded it and is part of the group of 80,000 people who have committed to registering their personal health information. The...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That would be the objective-----
- Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That would be the objective because in the current instance that person would have to treated in any event. The objective would be that they would be able to access their records as quickly as possible with whatever identifier was available. The Deputy is right to identify the savings and I will ask Mr. Tierney to speak more to that. I visited the National Rehabilitation Hospital recently....

- Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I ask Deputies to support the amendments in this grouping to ensure all health service providers as defined under the Bill are empowered to collect and record patients' PPSNs. Our health system needs a robust and proven identifier so that health information can effectively and reliably be associated with the correct individual. That is essential for care and treatment and patient safety....
- Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That is completely reasonable. We will look at it. I wish I could log into the app right now. If the IHI is not there in the background, there is no reason it could not or should not be there. We will find a way of doing that.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That is perfectly fair.
- Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I agree.
- Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I agree with the Deputy. There are a couple of pieces to that. The IFMS system is essential in us tracking spending in HSE hospitals and, crucially, voluntary hospitals. Some of the deficit issues exist on the voluntary side. It is therefore even more important that they are enthusiastic about bringing this in and enabling us to track the consistency of spending, including the cost of a...
