Regarding this patient app that Mr. O'Connor mentioned in his opening statement, will that include pathways for patients, signposting where people should go? I have travelled around the country a lot over the past year and met a lot of hospital managers, consultants and front-line healthcare staff, and I am conscious they have told me there is a lot more to be done to clearly signpost pathways for patients. There is confusion about what different elements of the health services do, from model 2 hospitals to model 4 hospitals, acute, medical assessment units, minor injuries units, emergency departments, where people should go and so on. Will that be part of the patient app that has been referred to?
