If I am right in what I am saying, anyone who has attended a hospital knows that you see the doctors and there is paper and a clipboard in front of them. It is not digital. As I understand it, if I go to one hospital in Cork and then six months later I go to another, the record of my previous visit is not available to the doctors attending me. This is prehistoric, with respect. Where are we with the digitalisation of patient records?
