The current framework isn't just about doctors and training; it's also about the continued professional development and training that takes place through the profession. For example, I announced at the recent medicine safety conference with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society in Wales that we'll have a roll-out of a trial of pharmacists having fuller access to the GP record, and if that's successful that will then be rolled out to other pharmacies who are part of the Choose Pharmacy network in the spring of next year. There will need to be training and understanding of what that means both for the pharmacist but also for GPs themselves as well.

To be fair, both the Royal College of General Practitioners and the general practice committee of the British Medical Association are fully engaged in a conversation about how to make better use of information technology. I'm actually meeting the medical director of NHS Wales Informatics Service later on this afternoon, to talk exactly about what we already do and what our ambitions need to be for the future. So, it isn't one simple part of understanding the opportunities that exist to work in a different way, it's actually about how we do that on a more successive basis and expecting GPs and others to be able to adapt to do that as well. There's lots of opportunity, but our biggest challenge in many ways is how the health service catches up with the expectation of how people already live their lives today. We're not where we need to be; there's more progress to make up, but I'm optimistic about where we'll actually get in the next few years.
