Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Accessing Justice: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Caron McCaffrey:

Yes. We need to upgrade our medical system. There is a strong commitment to do that. It is a recommendation that was made as part of the health needs assessment. At a systemic level we need to ensure all our systems talk to each other. We need to ensure we can extract the data. We have been doing a lot of work looking at what data we need. This is all aimed at managing our performance. We have set performance metrics for every level of activity in the organisation. We now need to be able to examine the data at a national level and at a specific prison level to see how we are performing so that we can identify the gaps, interrogate why we are not performing in the way we would like to and improve our performance. A significant data analytical process has been ongoing in the background so that we will have one system where people will enter the data that will generate important management reports both at local level and at national level so we can assess exactly how we are performing at all levels.
