Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

I thank the Senator for jogging my memory because central referrals is the other project that I was trying to remember that we are trying to standardise within Children's Health Ireland. Yes, there would be an electronic transfer of referrals and a notification would be sent back to the GPs on where their referral is within the system. We are moving more towards the digital transfer of data and information back to GPs.
