I have now heard from two sources there is to be $400M given to NEHTA as part of the selling the Roxon / Rudd Health Reform Plan to the Council of Australian Governments.
It could all be the most made up bit of nonsense ever, but if true one really hopes this time there will be some clear conditions on just how the funds are spent, on what and what is delivered for the funds.
Rumours of extra funding for e-Health certainly must have some basis, given that this area is to be subject of an additional announcement at some point - according to the initial plan that was released a week or two ago.
We shall all see - but if true, you heard it here first. Anonymous tips welcome!

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.
