To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of any patient safety implications arising from the rollout of the Vision 3 system, including in relation to system integration, ease of access to clinical information, any delays in processing patient information and any increase in administrative burden.

Where concerns are identified, they are reviewed through established governance processes and appropriate mitigations are put in place to support the continued delivery of safe and effective patient care.
