The Parent Held Record (PHR) was first piloted in Ireland in the former Midwest area in 2000-2012. Evaluation of the pilot project has demonstrated an improvement in service quality – through provision of accurate, timely information and the empowerment of parents in the care of their child. The PHR is now in use in the former mid-west, north east and north-west areas. A process is underway to enable roll out to other regions.
