Róisín Shortall: What does Mr. Thompson mean by "ultimately"?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Róisín Shortall: Mr. Thompson says "tactical", but what I am hearing is piecemeal, rather than working to an overall strategy, which is now coming up to eight years old.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Róisín Shortall: It strikes me from what Mr. Thompson has said that, yet again, the health service is to be shook up with a new plan and a new strategy without implementing the existing one. Can Mr. Thompson tell us in simple terms why we need a new strategy? Is there a problem with the 2015 strategy? Was it not comprehensive enough? Why is a new strategy now being devised?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Róisín Shortall: Wait. Mr. Thompson has spoken about getting through a programme and getting to the starting line. Is he saying that we are not midstream in a programme or strategy at the moment? How is it that after eight years, we are talking about needing to get to the starting line?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

To ask the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to a report by an organisation (details supplied) on wealth in Ireland; the steps he is taking to address the unequal distribution of wealth in this country; if he intends to introduce measures to increase taxes on capital and wealth; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Róisín Shortall: Our job today is to try to find out why on earth we seem to be incapable of delivering a proper modern e-health programme within the health service. It is so fundamental to everything about the health service. If we are serious about reform and serious about introducing the Sláintecare programme, we just have to get this right. We have to find out why has it not been got right for so...
