One of the positive developments is the development of an electronic patient indicator. Since we have some time, I ask one of the witnesses to expand on this initiative and how it is going to operate. Do we need to follow up with legislation in this regard? How is this system going to develop? I refer again to the idea of moving away from a paper-based system and this meaning it would be possible for people outside Dublin and in rural areas to have instant access to files. On the basis that this is an all-Ireland facility, I refer to the connection that will exist in this regard as well. This is one of the more exciting elements of the new children's hospital.
