It sounds to me as if ArgusConnect may just as well get on with helping users and potential users to obtain their digital certificates elsewhere, from whichever source is easiest, and enable Argus to use those certificates. What if any would be the disadvantages of using digital certificates from sources other than HeSA? I understand that we wouldn't be able to search for them on the Certificates Australia Web site: http://www.certificates-australia.com.au/general/cert_search_health.shtm l but my experience of using this Web site has been that it is not very helpful anyway. Would certificates from other sources cost something, and how much effort would practices have to make to get them? Could ArgusConnect just provide them to practices, as it has been doing with the HeSA ones?
