The Minister for Health does not have the power to carry out audits of personal data flows between data controllers. Under GDPR, all data controllers need to regularly audit their holdings of personal data and the procedures they have in place to protect the data in order to ensure compliance with data protection law. External auditing of data controllers is a matter for the Data Protection Commission to decide upon and to undertake.
