Thank you, Dr. Herb, for your reply. I can see your points have merit. I had not been affected in this way, but I can see that there is the potential for problems.
My query was about messaging. If I am correct, you have a relationship that exists between each GP and the specialist serving that GP. If they use a particular messageing system - why should I care? Surely the relationship is effectively on a message-by-message basis - the message is encoded and transmitted, the message is received and decoded - end of relationship until the next message. There is little or no data "held" in any proprietary format. There may be a few messages that cannot be accessed, but I have a fax machine for this reason - same as if my broadband goes down (Doesn't happen in Auckland much, but we are a few klms away and things are not so good). So - for messaging only - why should I care? I understant that Telstra are not ideal in Australia, but Telecom here aren't that bad.
