Board holds DMP funding before Gagneux report
The board overseeing the management of France’s DMP EHR programme has voted to keep funding at the same level next year while it awaits Michel Gagneux’s report into the future direction of the DMP. The meeting held December 19th voted to meet again in March 2008 to consider Gagneux’s recommendations and review future funding levels.
The DMP programme has been repeatedly criticised for being underfunded. The total cost of the entire programme has been budgeted at €1 billion (milliard) over the lifetime of the planned implementation, 2006 – 2010.
Gagneux has been tasked by health minister Roselyne Bachelot with reviving the DMP programme and giving it fresh direction.
