Cost of medical IT system to hit 61m - and it is still only rolled out in one hospital
"The chair of the Oireachtas Health Committee has described a €10m increase in the cost of a national medical laboratory IT system as "an omnishambles". The health service signed a €33m contract for the system known as MedLis with Oracle Health in 2015 and agreed a €17.9m contract extension for it in 2022."
The chair of the Oireachtas Health Committee has criticized a €10 million cost increase for MedLis, Ireland's national medical laboratory IT system, calling it an "omnishambles." The HSE originally signed a €33 million contract with Oracle Health in 2015 to develop the system. In 2022, the health service agreed to a €17.9 million contract extension. The significant budget overrun has raised serious questions about HSE management and accountability in handling major IT infrastructure projects.
