Ceist:

507. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the way in which the requirement for new regulations accords with the requirement to disapply national provisions to ensure that EU law is fully effective (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I fully acknowledge the difficulties created by the Health Access Regulations.  I and my officials have consulted with the Office of the Attorney General and the Data Protection Commission. Following that consultation, I am giving consideration to the making of new Regulations at an early date.

I have raised the particular difficulties encountered with the Regulations in respect of the health data in the Commission’s archives with relevant Government colleagues and I am working with colleagues to address the issue as a matter of priority.
