be addressed in order for useful progress to be made in creating a
coherent information system in Australia.

Breaking the Commonwealth/State impasse in health: a coalition of the
willing
By: John Menadue

A Joint Commonwealth/State Health Commission
(Joint Health Commission)
proposes some ways in which this might be achieved.
Yeah...right on Oliver. I've sent "rude" messages about this issue to
many politicians (and bureaucrats) for years. It has been a
particularly important issue in country areas in this State, but no
bastard takes any notice, although I do see that some pollies are
beginning to see the light over the last few months. Very difficult
to change, as it will mean the death of many bureaucratic jobs. I
guess it will come to pass in the "fullness of time"! Cheers. G
