Mr. Simon Nugent:

Well, Richard Corbridge has been to a couple of the meetings and is due to attend the next one. A lot of effort is being made to ensure that we take advantage of the sharing that is possible. There are all sorts of areas where this is relevant, like the sharing of images under the national integrated medical imaging system, NIMIS, and the individual patient identifier to which the Deputy referred. All of these things are very important if we are to have an efficient universal health service in the future and that is why we included it in our submission in August. It is something that we would encourage this committee to support because it needs focus.
