Select Committee on Health

Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage

2:00 am

Mr. Derek Tierney:

We had to negotiate hard with the vendor to get there, but that is the commitment. We want to deploy it in an integrated setting between Waterford general hospital and the wider community, get it to work there as a proof of delivery and then widen it on a regional and national basis. In parallel, to go back to Deputy Cullinane's question, we have developed a business case for the longer term system of an enterprise electronic health record. We are engaging with the Department of public expenditure and reform in the context of the NDP and funding levels and we have commenced a procurement engagement with the market. That is where we are. I am very focused on doing this.
