Mr. Fran Thompson:

When we look at the two hospitals that are there at the moment, namely, Crumlin and Temple Street, they are both lacking integrated electronic healthcare records and digitising. For the new children's hospital, the rationale for an electronic healthcare record is to ensure we can provide children with the most safe and effective service that is digitally enabled, both for them and for the clinicians so that from the start of their journey to the end, it is fully digitised. That is the goal and the effort that is being made in the children's hospital. We are supporting that fully and working with the children's hospital. The procurement for the electronic health records has been completed and they are now starting to work on the implementation of the project. It is approximately a 20-month project. That will enable the children's hospital to open in a digitised fashion.
