Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Sláintecare Implementation: Regional Health Areas Advisory Group

Mr. Leo Kearns:

It becomes a single point of failure, but some of those issues can probably be addressed by modern ways of doing things. That may not be as big an issue. The bigger issue is the multiplicity of systems we currently have. There are thousands of systems. There are also GP systems that are outside those. If we put all our focus into a single integrated system, which the UK tried to do, that may not be the best bang for our buck in the medium term.
