Select Committee on Health
Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 38 - Department of Health (Revised)
2:00 am
Mr. Derek Tierney:
Reflecting on what the Minister said earlier, for the first time we have a vision, a strategy and a clear implementation plan. The Government recognises and gives prominence to health digitalisation in the programme for Government and to continue digitalisation of health records. We have a three-tier approach to do that, with an app, a shared care record and an electronic health record.
We also have commenced a focus on automation, which is particularly the point the Deputy is making, looking at how we automate our processes, remove paper and remove administrative burdens.
