Part of 3. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport – in the Senedd at 2:59 pm on 21 June 2017.
Thank you for that answer, Cabinet Secretary. Information technology has the potential to transform how we deliver healthcare in the future. From telemedicine to interactive health apps, the benefits to patients are enormous. Unfortunately, our current infrastructure is not able to meet today’s demands. With doctors and nurses forced to use ageing IT, unable to instantly share diagnostics or access patients’ records, it is clear that we need a complete overhaul of our IT infrastructure. Cabinet Secretary, what can your Government do to ensure that we have an efficient and secure IT system that is suitable for today’s demands and future needs?
