Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Electronic Health Records: Discussion
Mr. Michael Redmond:
That is true. Since about 2015, our capital budget has grown from €40 million, through to €55 million and €65 million, up to where it is for this year, which is €140 million. In every one of those years, we invested 99% of that money in digital. That is a reflection of the need for it. Equally, as the e-health capability within health and within the HSE has grown, and in fairness there has been increased investment in the past few years, we have been maximising that investment. We certainly have not left an underspend behind us.
