Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health
Mr. Muiris O'Connor:
It is in four. When it is done on the one site, the first site in Ireland, that generates enormous learning and can accelerate the rollout to others. My understanding is that the pandemic delayed the rollout, but it has resumed. I do not have the note in front of me, but I was reading a note as part of my briefing that said 70% of children born in Ireland, as of next year, will have an electronic health record from the system. While it is not the full 19, they are generally working on the larger sites.
