1130. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for Health in view of his Department's decision to fund the recruitment of an additional 3,500 skilled staff for the Enhanced Community Care Programme, 1,500 of whom are specialist staff to deliver urgently needed integrated care across community-hospital setting for older persons and chronic disease, if his attention has been drawn to the fact that it is impossible to deliver such services because of the refusal of his Department to provide the necessary funding for a fully functioning integrated electronic health record system (integrating hospital and community systems) and that the absence of such a system completely undermines the programme and poses a significant clinical risk to patient safety; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
