With regard to records that are already in place, some, although not all, of the maternity units have computerised records. The first four involved began doing this five years ago. Can the electronic record relating to a baby born in a maternity units be passed on if that child is subsequently brought to the children's hospital 12 months later? Will such records be capable of being passed on in computerised form rather than by means of a paper file?
