Dr. Ian McCabe:

The short answer is "Yes". There are major issues, of course there are. Right now we are relying on the patient’s own broadband, which in many cases has a 2 MBps download speed and an upload speed of 1 MBps, which is completely insufficient. We are quite hopeful that the national broadband plan will roll out to the islands fairly soon and allow us to have home-based patient care. That is part of the reason that in the Healthy Islands project, we are trying to focus the care and the telehealth solutions in the health clinics on the islands. But again, we are seeing great differences not only in the space available in those health clinics but the connection that is there. We have some issues to address with the connection. We are looking at bespoke connections for some health clinics to enable us to do that. We are also struggling a little with the space because some of this is quite bulky. There are big screens and monitors that roll out, so we need a good amount of space. It is a big ask. Dr. Lineen-Curtis is brilliant. She is very accommodating. We are working through all these solutions but it takes time.
