To ask the Minister for Health if the contract signed with a software company, and the work that was carried out by that company, in respect of the development and deployment of MedLis (Medical Laboratory Information System) was reviewed before it was extended in 2022 (details supplied); the reasons this system has only been rolled out in one hospital; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 368, 369 and 370 together.

The objective of MedLIS is to establish a single national laboratory information system based on the principle of single laboratory record for each individual patient for tests carried out in any HSE laboratory. The system will be paperless and is designed to serve patients and the clinicians who provide care. Beaumont Hospital is the first site in which the new system has gone live and it has been supporting the service of five of six laboratory disciplines since August 2024.

Supplier contracts, deployments and system functionality are service matters and I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy.
