Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare

Future of Health Care: eHealth Ireland

9:00 am

Mr. Richard Corbridge:

It is. Slide 10 details the revenue costs, the capital costs and the spread of resource over the year. Slide 10 in the document pack we have provided gives members the details on that.

The last question was about integrated waiting lists and the possibilities around that. Many members will be aware that in the past three weeks we were asked by the Minister to deliver a digital challenge solution to the waiting list issue that exists today. That is now with the Minister's office to consider how that could be put in place. That includes a 12-month challenge and an additional spend of €1 million, and one of the products within it would be an integrated waiting list. In terms of electronic referral system, when moving referrals to an electronic solution, it is not that difficult to create an integrated waiting list from that solution.
