Is Mr. Reid talking about a top-down, bottom-up ICT policy unit? Some schools are moving towards the use of tablets and away from the use of schoolbooks. Is there a policy of pushing this, encouraging this and driving it forward? I know from my experience of general practice that some practices are now completely paperless. The one time the GP uses a biro is to sign a prescription. Other than that, it is completely paper-free. Does Mr. Reid believe we can drive this further by focusing on IT penetration on the front line? Many of the things he discussed relate to the macro level, but I am talking about services on the ground. Is that policy going right down?
