I propose to take Questions Nos. 106, 183 and 210 together.

The required information is contained in the following tables. The national health information strategy proposed that the health information and quality authority draw up a multi-annual information and ICT plan which, among other objectives, would ensure a standardised approach to systems is taken on a national basis and that value for money is achieved. Legislation to establish the health information and quality authority is currently being drafted and the full range of its functions is being considered in that context. It is anticipated that heads of Bill will be submitted to Government in the near future.
