If they were to end up in the Mercy hospital 12 months later, they will then get a paper file there. If they were to be in the South Infirmary two years later again, another paper file will be...

Colm Burke: I believe the Minister accepts there is a huge saving if we have this in place. It is already working in the maternity service. Where it is place, there is a huge saving. It is extremely helpful for medical practitioners, for nurses and for administrators where the system is up and running in the four or five maternity hospitals.
