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.
