E-HEALTH IRELAND

The project involves the strategic investments in digitalisation of the Irish health sector, including supporting the National Electronic Health Record Programme. The programme is well embedded in the E-Health Strategy for Ireland.

This project will include the design of the national configuration of e-health solutions and the technical delivery as outlined in the relevant national policy, the E-Health Strategy for Ireland.

The project concerns investments in health facilities, universities and public research facilities, which are not specifically mentioned in the Directive 2014/52/EU on Environmental Impact Assessment, amending directive 2011/92/EU, though the project may be covered by Annex II of the Directive in relation to urban development. Full environmental details will be assessed during the appraisal, including the potential impacts of some of the capital investments concerned.

The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Directives 2014/24/EU and/or 2014/25/EU and/or 2014/23/EU as well as Directives 89/665/EEC and 92/13/EEC) as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with the publication of tender notices in the Official Journal of the European Union, as and where required.
