PM Speech Alert on Future of the Health System.

Listening to Insiders on ABC TV today I noticed one of the guests mentioned that the Prime Minister is giving a speech on the future of the Health System tomorrow – Monday 27, July 2009.

It was suggested that the speech was going to announce the takeover of the non-hospital health sector. We shall see!

It would be nice if e-Health were to get a mention if this is a major directions speech. I notice that in the 6000+ words on policy published in the Herald and Age on Saturday 25 July there was mention of the need for reform but no mention of e-Health.

I can’t find any confirmation on the web as yet – but the timing is what we were expecting for the timing of the release of the NHHRC Final Report. We were told a week or so ago the report was at the printers.

As they say – ‘Stay Tuned’.

David.
