I support the amendment. It stands to reason that a database would be in situ . Where a person is moving from an acute hospital it is important that his or her medication and blood details, including their requirements, be available on an intranet within the HSE. I cannot understand why in respect of ordinary medicine this is not the case. Currently, individuals must outline their details to a doctor who must write a letter in respect of medication required and so on. It should be possible to transfer such information automatically from one facility to another.
