Mr. Jim Breslin:

We are not at the point yet where we are rolling out that financial system. We are at a peer review process for procurement of a national financial system. However, the learning is that a great deal can happen before we implement a new national financial system. There is a huge amount of process change that must be consolidated and made consistent across the country. The way in which information is captured and recorded must be made consistent, and the processing of financial information can be streamlined through reducing the number of points in which it is being captured. The overall reform is not simply about a piece of technology. It must be about a changed way of managing the financial recording and management within the HSE.
