Having addressed the issue of medical records generally, the report goes on to make a recommendation on the records of the national centre in particular. As the tribunal has recommended, a national patient recording system will be developed at the national centre. My Department will explore options for achieving this objective as part of the dialogue on the implementation of these recommendations which has been opened with treating consultants at both the national and regional centres. The Irish Haemophilia Society will also be consulted and kept fully informed about this process.
