“1. In December 2009, the Health and Sport Committee undertook a short inquiry into the development of clinical portal technology and telehealth across the NHS in Scotland. The aim of this inquiry was to examine the current pace of development in the use of such technology as a means of delivering a more efficient, responsive and patient-centred health service.
2. The evidence gathered during this inquiry, as well as the conclusions and recommendations of the Committee, will support our scrutiny of the effective use of IT in other aspects of the health service, such as out-of-hours healthcare provision in rural areas”
