I will raise one final issue about the electronic records. I have come across scenarios where someone is in hospital or care and there are full electronic records in the ward that is dealing with the person. Yet, another section of the hospital will not get involved with the electronic system. Therefore, on the one hand, there is an electronic file and, on the other, there is a manual file in another section of the hospital. How does one deal with that? There will be a changeover. It will have to happen if we want to make the system more efficient. I wonder how we can avoid a scenario happening where there is a need for key information, somebody checks the electronic records and the key information will not be on the file.
