Part 4 of the Bill sets out a number of specified public interest purposes, including service planning and performance management, in respect of which the HSE can request and receive health information from entities across the health sector. The amendment clarifies that the definition of health information includes information relating to the provision and evaluation of health services.
Amendment No. 2 is a consequential amendment arising from that amendment to the definition of health information. The amendments will clarify more precisely the duty of health service providers to comply with requests from the HSE and share health information as necessary, including for the purposes of integrated service planning and the efficient and effective use of resources.
