Oliver and Tim "Reading between the lines of David's blog, I think that he wants *his* strategy. He is not alone. Every woman, man and her/his dog has their own take on the One True Strategy."
Please read my blog properly..I want a consultative, involved, inclusive strategy to be developed and I don't know what it should say..that's why I put all the material up - so all can think about it and form a view for the day when we all have our say.. Kindly don't put words in my mouth - and please just note what I say. From the March 11 Open Letter to Mr Abbott. "I believe this is a major policy failure of the present Government and will have electoral consequences unless addressed promptly with a coherent, inclusive and properly funded National Health IT Strategy in conjunction with an appropriate Business Plan and Implementation Strategy. Neither NEHTA nor the newly re-formed Australian Health Information Council appear to be cognisant of and focussed upon the excess costs and suffering inaction is causing. Action is required promptly." Just one example. Also - as I have said - I think local and focussed - in the right standards environment may be the go..but I am not sure - If you want to provide input I am happy to publish it on the blog. If you have a vision etc - type it up and I will publish and give you full credit. Oliver - the problem with all the previous stuff was, in part at least, a lack of inclusiveness and real consultation...Some how the same people were doing the same things on the same committees endlessly and nothing changed. Up to you all to say what should happen next.
