As reported on ABC News Radio at about 6pm 18 Jan, 2009.
The Health Minister does not think we need e-Health which is funded by Government - as is happening in other countries including the US, the UK and Europe. She is confident care providers and vendors will come to the party to save the Government from spending any money.
In the interview clip I heard she provided no reason why she imagined that might be the case.
Seriously clueless is my assessment on the basis of this report. Policy nitwit might also fit.
More to follow once there is more available.

This blog is totally independent, unpaid and has only three major objectives.
The first is to inform readers of news and happenings in the e-Health domain, both here in Australia and world-wide.
The second is to provide commentary on e-Health in Australia and to foster improvement where I can.
The third is to encourage discussion of the matters raised in the blog so hopefully readers can get a balanced view of what is really happening and what successes are being achieved.
