Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare
Relationship between Primary Care and Secondary Care

Professor Garry Courtney:
While Dr. Ronan Fawsitt can deal with the GP ratios, the implementation of the unique patient identifier would be wonderful. We could follow patients and could see trends. We have a different number for a patient who comes to us from Dublin for a holiday. The simple answer is it would save money and would reduce delay and duplication. It would be a brilliant idea and I hope it happens.
