Active Public Consultations/Notices
Citizens’ Jury on “Who should be able to view, share and use your health information?” What is it? A Citizen’s Jury is a method of public deliberation that invites a cross-section of the public to learn about a topic over several online sessions, to analyse the pros and cons of proposals and to generate their own recommendations. Since 2016, Ireland has used a ‘Citizen’s Assembly’ process in the Constitutional Convention to examine legislative issues surrounding abortion, population ageing and climate change. As a democracy, Ireland uses juries when it comes to a court trial, and very rarely is the verdict given by a jury distrusted by society. We believe the same holds true for Citizen Jurys making policy decisions or recommendations. This project will implement a Citizen jury in 2021 to explore the ‘tricky question’ of ‘who should be able to view, share and use your health information’, in order to promote conversations and dialogue in this health-related ‘tricky topics’. This will consist of recruiting a cross-section of 25 adults from different communities to meet online in April 2021 to hear from and ask questions of experts, and to deliberate. Juror Application https://bit.ly/2MvMzK4 For full information and to make application, visit www.ipposi.ie/citizensjury before the closing date of Sunday January 31, 2021.
