Yes.

But is this not potentially a failure of communication where the hospital didn't actually communicate with the GP so that things could be followed up?

Health Report

I just wonder if this is success of the app or if this is failure of communication within the healthcare system.

I've had a lot of patients who are perhaps older who really find it quite difficult to link their MyGov.

Health Report

Health Report
