Are patients, patient advocates or people with real lived experience on the e-health committee? I am not sure if it is quite an advisory committee. Are they involved in this process? How much are actual current patients involved in this process in terms of their own experiences? Have the delays to this cost lives? I do not mean that in an inflammatory way. I can talk personally, as I am sure anyone in the Chamber may, about people not being able to find files, things not happening and delays. Is there a concern that as technology is moving on in other countries, we are falling behind in our patient responsibilities and patient care?
