The ANAO Has Delayed The Release Of The #myHealthRecord Performance Audit Until November 2019.

They provide no reasons or more accurate date.

David.

p.s. It is hard not to wonder if this deferral and Senator Griff's treatment are not part of a wider problem with the ADHA. Just wondering?

Hahahahahahaha! Aren't they funny?

Yeah, an absolute joke. Can't answer basic questions and, as predicted a while back on this blog, now the audit report is pushed off beyond the end-of-year sittings.

Maybe the ANAO can't decide if it is very bad or very, very bad.
Last sitting week is 2-5 December.

Remember there is the possibility that, despite all, the ANAO decides the ADHA has done an exemplary job, have performed well and have been a model of efficiency and rectitude and need their funding increased so they can do more good for the deprived public.

You have to wonder if the delay is to allow time for the report to be sanitised and neutered.

Just saying....but I really do hope not....these are not ordinary times where evidence matters and so on!

David,

I admire your efforts to be open minded and even handed, but three tings stand out.

The latest board papers were for the meeting 6 December 2018.

The latest statistics dashboard were dated 28 July 2019.

There is no sign of the annual report for the period period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019.

As an agency their performance is pretty woeful. The secretary Glenys Beauchamp, a career public servant can't be too happy with things, never mind the Minister. To be fair to those two, most of the problems were due to decisions made by others in the past.

My guess is that the review came as a bit of a shock and the Department/Minister need to work out how to deal with it. I doubt that the ANAO would countenance anything that would approach "sanitised and neutered."

....however, if the ANAO decides that the ADHA was less than honest it its selling of the system, especially during the opt-out period, those two may well be held directly responsible.

Tax Commissioner Chris Jordan Has made it quite clear where department heads stand when it comes to public matters. Australia seems to be heading in a very concerning direction.
