Stephen Donnelly has said there will be no security risks to a new app allowing healthcare staff access to patients’ medical histories.

Health Minister

When rolled out across the country, it will provide access to patients’ history including past diagnoses, allergies, medications and previous hospital scans.Mr Donnelly said the app should be rolled out by the end of 2025, followed by a digitisation of the Irish health service.Some 473 legal cases have been taken against the HSE concerning the 2021 cyberattack that saw sensitive information about patients and staff leaked.

“We know that there are systems like health care systems around the world that will be constantly attacked by these groups.” “If you’re brought in by ambulance to your local hospital, maybe you can’t talk or maybe you’re confused, they can immediately see, ‘Right, we have you x-rays, we have your MRIs, we see the medication you’re on.”
