Mr. Sean Egan:

The Deputy has touched on an important point about the future of regulation, particularly in the healthcare setting. We already use data. There is lots of data that we can lean on to provide us with a very helpful lens in respect of what is happening in services. We have used that because it is available. One of the challenges is that technology is evolving at pace because society is digitising rapidly. There is huge opportunity in this area for improving the approach to regulation. As Ms Fitzgerald mentioned, we benchmark ourselves against our northern European peers in particular. All of us are having the same conversation around how we enhance our approach to the use of technology to inform monitoring and surveillance of services using available information in data to supplement the work we already do through inspection. It is going to be a critical development for us as we progress. It is something we are seeking to develop both in terms of the technology we are building and the specialist staffing that will be required. I do not think it will replace inspection. Ultimately, we need a presence on the ground and there are a lot of things that our inspectors can identify through inspection that will never be identifiable through data. It is an important additional supplementary area we have identified that we need to grow from where we are currently.
