Ciarán Cannon: For those of us who are far from expert on how exactly it is intended to drive this innovation within the system, is there a unit within the HSE that oversees this process?

Ciarán Cannon: Have the people who are leading that change in that unit of 700 people ever contemplated visiting places such as Denmark - maybe they already have - which is not dissimilar to us in terms of its demographics and population? Estonia is a very small, agile country that has been doing extraordinary things in the use of technology for how a citizen interacts with the state. Have we visited...

Ciarán Cannon: I know this is a difficult question, but in Mr. Gloster's estimation, how far away are we from having an actual workable EHR for every person in this country?

Paul McAuliffe: I acknowledge the Cathaoirleach's new position. I have no doubt but that she will continue the good work of the previous Chair in chairing this committee and doing it in a cross-party way. Our work in this committee is very important, but so is the way we do our work. It is important and different from other committees. I acknowledge this point. I thank Mr. Gloster and all the team for...

Paul McAuliffe: I saw a figure regarding the outpatient waiting lists having been reduced by 50,000 people. Mr. Gloster is saying this is a real reduction rather than a validation exercise.

Paul McAuliffe: I am very much cognisant of the volume of money associated with this hearing. We are talking about €23.5 billion. Many Government Departments could be folded into that figure. In 2019, the figure was €16 billion. Essentially, there has been a 46% increase in the funding of the HSE over the past four years, that is, the lifetime of this Government. In 60 seconds, can Mr....
