Amendment No. 8 is essentially a drafting amendment. Section 11 currently allows the Minister for Health to process an individual’s IHI and other identifying particulars in the register for a relevant purpose. Amendment No. 8 brings section 11 into line with section 10 which provides that the Minister may access the national IHI register for a relevant purpose or for the purpose of performing a function conferred by the Minister under the Bill or other enactment.
