I am a member of the Committee of Public Accounts and the Joint Committee on Health. The ICT system for e-health records is nowhere close to being complete. When somebody comes into the Prison Service first, how much of a challenge is it to get them up to speed on the data? They might not have complete medical records. In this room we have been talking about passing information to other mental health facilities. The lack of e-health is an issue for Sláintecare. Will that also be an issue for the Prison Service? When it has that fantastic global system, it might not be talking, for example, to the HSE.
