Mr. Derek Tierney:

At a minimum, a shared care record will allow minimum access to health information wherever it is in the system. If the question is about whether we can we pick up a baby's electronic record and ingest it into the system within the children's hospital, in theory, yes, we can. However, we have to work through matters in terms of interoperability. Going back the first part of the Deputy's question, the committee will be aware that Limerick maternity unit went live on the maternity HR system just three weeks ago. That is a major milestone because it sets us on a path to get 70% of all births on a maternity HR system. That is great news.
