I think that the issues are different, with respect. The issues about the data centres I don't think are the same as the software and support that we're talking about to support GPs to work in their practices. And I go back to the statement made by David Bailey, the chair of the BMA Welsh council, who is also a GP himself, and his practice actually uses EMIS systems. He's recognised that it will be a practical problem for GPs in migrating to a new system, and that's why conversations have already taken place about the required training and support to help migrate practices into a new software that meets our requirements for the system that we have to run here in Wales. And that's the point: we have to have a system that supports the aims and objectives of the way we want to run our system here, not our system being driven by the demands of an external software supplier.

I do recognise the practical challenges about whether, if GPs don't feel supported in doing this, some may make a choice to leave the profession earlier than we would of course want them to. That's why the continuing nature of our conversation with both the British Medical Association and the Royal College of General Practitioners really does matter. I want them to be assured that there is a real will and commitment from the Government and the wider health service to support them in doing so and to continue to provide excellent, high-quality care to every community in Wales.
