Did you check the Youtube video at all? Estonian health professionals have access to the data and users can revoke / limit that right.

Yes I did but again its not what Israel does, the video, only shows an authorised person can access the information ie the mother, and of course its a good system but how it compares to how Israel has used all its data is beyond my capabilities.
Also health professionals can access the data in the Estonian and Danish examples. So what is the difference according to you with Israel then? You remain here vague.
Read the article I posted.
People at every level in the HSE, doctors, nurses, administrators and managers, have stymied attempt at reform over the years. PPARS is a good case in point. This, along with all of the other issues that structural inefficiency causes, is mainly their fault. The HSE is not some abstract concept, it is the 120,000 or so people who work in it.
Which I did
Most of the hospitals in Ireland are privately owned but publicly funded. The people who work in them have refused to standardise their IT infrastructure. I had a brain scan a few years ago and the results were put on a CD and sent by taxi from one hospital to another.
They also have a national identity card. We don't. We are decades behind.
PPS numbers could do the trick if needed.
No it wouldn't. There would be strikes and pay increases and nothing would actually change. There's a reason we are amongst the highest per capita spenders on healthcare in the world but still have rubbish health services.
I spoke to a nurse a while ago who had worked in the NHS for 20 years before returning to Ireland. She said that her hospital was now talking about putting reporting systems and IT infrastructure in place which was already in place in England when she started working there. She said that the levels of accountability for nurses and doctors here were just about nonexistent.
I'm not arguing that our system is anywhere near good, like you when I was sick I had 4 hospital numbers as I had treatment in four hospitals.
That idea was whacked on the head with the the Public Service Card being deemed a step to far
Absolutely. I made the point earlier in this thread that Israel has a massive military infrastructure which can be used for this task and a national identity card to track people. It is ridiculous to compare us to them.
The front line heroes would be on the Public Sector Broadcaster moaning about how awful it all is etc and the populists in the opposition and in the Government parties would all jump on the bandwagon. At the end of the day the Public sector Unions are stronger than the government.
