Ms Emer Campbell:

I am nursing in the prisons. We have global access. If somebody transfers to my prison from another prison, such as Cork, I immediately have their medical file. It is global with access to everybody. If somebody leaves my care, I can add to their notes if required. We have access to the entire prison population from each prison site. It has made life very easy and we are able to get a history accurately including in respect of their drugs and medication.

We seem to be at a far more advanced stage than the HSE. At times officials from the HSE have come to look at our system.
