One of the areas the Department mentions, and it is one of our weak areas, is access to e-health records. We are currently ranked 27th on this. Why are we still using paper records? It does not make sense. It is far more efficient to have records digitised. The Department is saying we are ranked 27th, which is extraordinary.
