Professor Brendan McAdam:

Part of our vision is to try to have registries and structures or networks set up so that we can provide better care, measure what we are doing, collaborate much more and get funding for better innovations. The Cathaoirleach asked about black spots, but it is very hard to know. Most hospitals look at their own data, but it is very fragmented. We would have to get an overall picture to know exactly what we are doing. Thereafter, we can plan and if there are black spots, we can address them with proper resources and personnel.
