I think that you may be confusing two _separate _Gov programs.
"PBS On Line", to which the 20 million refers, is a Pharmacy _Dispensing
_initiative and is nothing to do with the "Streamline Authority" stuff.
The former is about the Pharmacy systems checking for patient PBS
eligibility for various pensions etc before the chemist hands over the
pills.
Streamline Authorities on the other hand has nothing to do with the
Pharmacy Dispensing software but if Company's with clinical desktops
chose to, they could assist the 'numbering process' for their doctors -
as HCN did.

Yes,
You're right Andrew.
I stumbled across this while looking on the DOHA website for more
information about the streamlined authorities and assumed it was related
as it was right before it and didn't seem to relate to what had gone before.
It did seem a lot of money and, as usual, asking a silly question on the
GPCG List usually gets you a well-informed reply.
Thanks
