Government has made all documents lodged at the Land Registry available online “24 hours per day, seven days per week, 365 days of the year. Legal and Consumer Affairs Minister Peter Taylor made this announcement in a statement in the House of Representatives last Friday.

In keeping with the tenets of Government’s Vision 2020 operational plan, Taylor said: “The Government of Trinidad and Tobago is focused on creating a public sector in which the ‘delivery of predictable, world class and technologically savvy services to our people’ is the norm rather than the exception.” Public institutions must be high performance professional entities effectively and efficiently meeting the needs of all their clients.”

Trinidad & Tobago’s public healthcare system will go hi-tech by late next year with the launch of the E-Health Card. According to Health Minister Jerry Narace, the card would be made available to the public by the third of fourth quarter of next year and by 2012, every citizen should have the card. He said the project was listed at the top of the ministry’s agenda for next year. The electronic card, Narace noted, would make it easier for citizens to better access healthcare abroad and would also provide access to online medical records, appointment scheduling and local and international test records.

The card would also monitor the Chronic Disease Assistance Programme (CDAP), he said. “The project will start on a pilot basis in March and then it will be rolled out to the entire country by the third or fourth quarter of next year,” Narace said, during a telephone interview yesterday. “This is intended to be the first real major transformation tool in healthcare,” he added.
