Mr. Richard Corbridge:

First, the Cork and Kerry maternity hospitals, that is, the area we were looking at, they are not pilot projects. They are the first sites that will go live. Obviously, we will evaluate each site as it goes live. They are the first two maternity hospitals to go live. The clinical engagement and passion in both hospitals for that system to go live successfully is phenomenal. The solution that is being deployed is an American solution that was procured a number of years ago but has been clinically built and validated specifically for the delivery of maternity care in Ireland. I personally have never seen a more committed clinical team to make a solution go live well. There have been 8,000 man hours of training in Cork hospital alone to ensure that system goes live successfully over the weekend in October, and then the team moves on to Kerry. We in the team all are personally committed to ensure those two sites go live well. New IT systems, particularly those in the area of health, will often give rise to issues when they first go live. We know how to manage those issues in Cork and Kerry and have a good team on the ground to ensure they are fully supportive. We strongly believe that they will not be pilot projects; they will be proving how this should be done for hospitals across the rest of the country. The programme team is ready to roll that into every one of the maternity hospitals. Ms Goff may want to say something about the clinical engagement aspect.
