In light of the presentation at the ten-year health committee, e-health is very positive. I would like be able to criticise the system but GPs are moving to a paperless system and we are using a unique patient identifier system. The person who gave the presentation said Ireland was being very progressive as a country by introducing e-health. The initiative will be up and running and streamlined within 18 months. It will lead to a huge cost saving initiative. I compliment everyone involved in bringing the scheme on board.
Chairman:I thank the Deputy.
