Is the minister saying NEHTA hasnt produced anything useable for all the money spent on standards development so far?<br />And if the $400m+ is earmarked for more standards work, what money, when and where will be forthcoming to do the build and deployment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23447705.post-55143484194523491342010-06-30T10:42:14.244+10:002010-06-30T10:42:14.244+10:00I agree that banking is a horrible analogy.

However, if you cut through the spin and listen carefully to what Ms Roxon actually says, she says that the $400 million is "earmarked" for standards development.<br /><br />If this is the case then the government has made a blunder by using the term "personally controlled" in their description.

Instead of EFTPOS we can have EHRPOS (electronic health record point of care). And there are swags of standards around banking transactions and code of conduct, including who is liable for fraudulent access and transactions, and how to complain when things go wrong. Very useful.
