Inquiry into NHS Informatics Services

Additional information from Andrew Griffiths, Director of NHS Wales Informatics Service

Following the PAC meeting we’ve looked at any double running costs being incurred. The supplier costs are shown in the table below along with the organisations funding them. In addition to telepath costs (awaiting implementation of blood transfusion module) the GP links software requires a software upgrade from one of the GP system suppliers before the legacy system can be fully retired. Those costs (in thousands) are also shown in the table below.
