Mr. Derek Tierney:
We have been concentrating on rolling out an electronic health record, EHR, for maternity services. Our hope is that by the end of 2024, 70% of all births will be registered and captured within that electronic health record system for maternities. Beyond 2024, we look to push that further. We have a very significant ambition in terms of IT deployment right across the health service.
