I am advised by Revenue that the number of individuals about whom data has been provided, on request, to the Health Service Executive (HSE) under section 8 of the Health (Alteration of Criteria for Eligibility) Act 2013 is as follows:
Year | No. |
---|---|
2015 | 1,236,788 |
2016 to date | 562,537 |
The data supplied by Revenue to the HSE reflect income details returned by self employed taxpayers in their tax return to Revenue or by employers in the P35 return in respect of PAYE employees.
I am advised by Revenue a data exchange agreement is in place with the HSE which sets out the respective roles and responsibilities in connection with data exchanges.
