The whole purpose of this Bill is to have that level or depth of information in a person's health records, including information on scans that can be seen by different hospitals. It strikes me that it will take some time to get to that point. The summary care record is basically a very simple, basic set of information that will not provide a real difference to a patient's experience, in my view. It is basic information and it will be the first step. Is there a timeframe of when we will get to the use of shared care records and then the full bells and whistles electronic health records?
