Summary
Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick asks when the health information Bill will be published, citing patient safety, governance, data matching and clinical audits. The Taoiseach says its heads have been cleared and publication is planned for the next session.
Patient safety and quality is one of the Government’s top priorities. We need to promote and guarantee patient safety. We also need to enhance the power of the Ombudsman and HIQA, improve governance of health information including data matching and support for clinical audits. When can we expect the health information Bill to be published?
