Is there not a problem in Ireland in that we have 1,200 to 1,400 different systems between all the private hospitals, public hospitals and everything else? Denmark started back in 1996 and it is down to 12 or 14 systems and it is working down towards five systems. It has a huge saving as a result. Do we need to make sure now that we co-ordinate not only with IT but with the other sections of our hospital care system?
