Maybe I can clarify.
In the U.K., the approach that has been taken is one where there is centralized patient information. There is one file for an individual, as opposed to having this decentralized, as it is here in Canada. It's easier in that context when it comes to implementing a registry and ensuring data sharing, because it's all coming from one source, as opposed to here in Canada where we have a decentralized health care system, with each province having authority over patient information.
Within a province, there is also the complexity or the notion around private clinics versus hospitals. This is another area. For instance, some provinces might actually have to look into regulation or legislation to even have access to private clinic information.
That comes back to the complexity we were talking about. If we were looking into implementing a registry for patient notification purposes in Canada, these would need to be addressed.
