Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:28 pm on 2 February 2021.
Minister, I'd like to take the opportunity to pass on the many positive comments that I've received from residents in the Cynon Valley, who have contacted me to express their relief and their jubilation at having received the vaccine, and their thanks to all those that made this possible. The Welsh Government's vaccination delivery plan explains that all vaccinations in Wales are recorded directly into the Welsh immunisation system, a bespoke software package developed by NHS Wales Informatics Service, and integrated into the GP record, which makes it easy to rapidly call people forward for the vaccine, in line with the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation guidelines. What assessment, Minister, have you made to date about how well this digital recording and reporting system is operating? And what lessons can we learn from this innovation about how we can make use of digital technology at speed to enhance patient experience within the NHS in Wales?
