Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Implementation of Sláintecare: Discussion
Mr. Robert Watt:
There was not a pause. Sláintecare has continued to be delivered as outlined in the progress report that Mr. Patterson and the team have just published, which sets out progress on the other aspects that are not included in the report. There is ongoing reform in terms of how services are provided for patients. There is reform in relation to ehealth. Eprescribing is a very significant change which has brought about big benefits in terms of clinical practices, critical pathways and GP services. That is ongoing.
