Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Long-term Planning in the Health Services: Discussion
2:00 am
Pádraig O'Sullivan (Cork North-Central, Fianna Fail)
I was listening to the discussion before I came down. Deputy Martin Daly got in at the end about digitalisation and ehealth. We were here a number of weeks ago and were told procurement alone will take 18-plus months. I forget who said it. I cannot recall which official said it. It will take 18 months for procurement in terms of rolling out digitalisation and, if we are lucky, maybe it will commence by 2030 and then take a further five to ten years. Why is it taking that length of time to roll this out?
