AN ELECTRONIC healthcare record for all patients, allowing a range of information on their medical history to be automatically called upon, is promised under a new health plan launched yesterday.
“We have been criticised in the past for producing strategies without funding. This has the envelope of money with it,” the minister insisted.
A Health Information and Quality Authority will also be established and this will play a major role in implementing the contents of the strategy.
Another Authority? Will this help or hinder???
