Dear FOI Team,
Thank you for your response.
Could you please clarify under the Pathology section what you mean by "Currently deploying Winpath Enterprise (Clinisys)" does this mean you plan to use Winpath across both sites? or that you will be replacing this system? If you plan to replace, could you please supply the supplier/system/install and expiry date?
Thank you for your time in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Miss G Kovacs
Dear Miss Kovacs
Apologies for the confusion, we plan to use Winpath across both sites.

Dear FOI Team,
Thank you for clarifying.
Do you have a go live date for when this will be at both sites?
Also, do you have an expiry date please for the Winpath system?
Thank you for your time in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Miss G Kovacs
Dear Miss Kovacs
Winpath v5 and Telepath v2.3 will be replaced with Clinisys Winpath Enterprise in late 2023 on an initial 7 year contract. The current contract expires on 1st January 2023 (contract will roll over until novating to Winpath Enterprise).
